Fellow okie here... where the bridge was out, although you got a good detour and saw a better road, the new bridge was just a little farther down the road from the old one. Maybe a mile. Loved the report, used to live in Tahlequah.
It would have been built within a couple of years of when you were there. Old bridge was Combs Bridge. Spent many an evening watching sunset over the river from that old bridge.Interesting, I scanned my maps for a nearby bridge but must have missed it. Good to know! Glad you enjoyed it
I am hoping to go to the Wichita Mountains in a couple weeks. Anything I need to make sure I don't miss? Main plan is hiking and mountain biking. Of course I will hit Mount Scott. Nothing else definitive at this point.
Or I will hit something in the Ouachita Mountains in SE OK.
