The Wooden Bridge That Vanished From Madison County - Richmond KY

I grew up in Madison County and there were many special things I remember from living here so long. One thing that I like to find are wooden bridges. I wish when I was younger that I had taken a few more pictures of some of the cool bridges around Richmond KY. There were a few wooden ones and also a swinging bridge or two that we would hang out on.

This one pictured was off US 25 South near Richmond Auto Parts and a junkyard back in the day. It was a road that crossed over the railroad track.

A few years ago, I remembered to stop by and only took 4 or 5 pictures on a summer's day. Now wish I had taken more! I used one for the header on my newsletter then forgot where I had the file on my computer. I discovered it again! So here it is.

Sad, but this wooden bridge is no longer here in Madison County. It has been torn down...vanished. So we will have to admire what was just from my picture.

I might have to visit my Mom's attic to find other old 35MM pictures of Richmond KY that I can scan.

Come back to my blog often (or subscribe) to see what I find.

*The Wooden Bridge That Vanished From Madison County - Richmond KY*

The most fun way to drive to Lexington KY from Richmond KY is to take KY 169 (Tates Creek Rd) to Valley View and ride the famous ferry across the Kentucky River.

Every creek in Kentucky has a road beside it. Well... not all, but most of them do.

Kentucky is second behind Alaska for the state with the most waterways. How did the roads develop? I have to wonder if they first had Indians and settlers walking along them to get to the next settlement.

The paths became wider over time with wagons and carriages. Later were paved in asphalt to become our modern day roads.

One of my favorite ones is Tates Creek Road between Richmond and Lexington.

The trees are a green tunnel that has a leafy ceiling in the spring and summer. Later in the fall turns into a multi-color petals that swirl around your car as you drive through.

What is wonderful about Tates Creek Road is that it stops at the Kentucky River at a little place called Valley View. To get across the river you will need to drive your car aboard a ferry that holds 3 cars.

The Valley View Ferrywas established in 1792 and now owned by the state. It is the oldest continuous business in Kentucky. It's free of charge to use.

Last Christmas, I surprised the captain with a pretty wrapped box of chocolate truffles. I'm sure he will remember me the next time I drive across. He probably thinks I was the only paying customer last year!

I'm always amazed how beautiful it is here in Madison County.I feel a sense of pride in showing out-of-towners around before they purchase property. Just sharing a bit of paradise is fun!

I hear you knocking but you can't come in...

The other day as we were working in the office, Jane, my assistant said, "Lizette come in here, there is a bird that keeps pecking on the window!"

I thought she was kidding. So I came into her office to see since I could clearly hear some tapping on the glass.

Over and over he tapped on our window and would perch himself in the tree to look into the window.

He did seem to want to hang around and wasn't afraid of us.

Grabbing one of my cameras, I was able to snap this picture of him.

I believe he was an American Goldfinch.

It was nice to see him and wonder what the message was that day.

Maybe, it was just for us to slow down and take a break. Real estate can be a stressful business. Don't take things so seriously. We did get a good laugh from watching him. What a beauty he was!
