THE IRON AND CONCRETE WINGS OF AMERICA

A HIKE WITH THE MOSQUITOS

Spectacular Camelback Steel Truss spans and drawbridge on the CSX Railroad over the Tennessee River at New Johnsonville, TN. To get this pic, I had to park and hike 2 miles up the road to the bridges in the 2nd picture, with the Tennessee River on one side of the road and a swamp on the other and the temperature 92 degrees.  Every 20 feet, I ran into a swarm of mosquitoes and bugs.  As soon as I outran them, I’d run into another swarm. Bug spray did not work..... I think they drink Raid as cocktails.
