Iron Bridge sign


This photo looks from Bloomsbury, Hunterdon County, across the bridge over the Musconetcong River into Warren County. The sign on the bridge reads “CAUTION - $10 fine for traveling over this BRIDGE faster than a WALK.”

I remember running across the bridge and being able to feel it vibrate beneath my feet. They should put a sign like that on the new bridge - for historical sake.

Thanks for the flood pictures!

I think that's my cat! :) Seriously, that looks like a cat we had. Maybe all the B'bury cats looked like that?
Great pictures. Thanks for posting them.
