    that was cool you caught them crossing the old swinging bridge, I agree they need to preserve that bridge, especially since it's regularly used

      That couple was so nice but I do hope they'll be careful in the future crossing that bridge

    Awesome swinging bridge Coyote's! There used to be all kinds across the rolling fork river where I grew up but there's few left nowadays. I miss them and it's great to see a surviving one! Thanks for sharing it with us!

    I really hope this bridge can be saved. It needs repair for sure but it's a piece of Harlan history and my student groups loved walking across it. It could be a great tourist attraction and it's very close to Blanton Forest

    Up in Leslie Co. And I crossed Middle Fork River almost every day. That old swinging bridge is gone now.
    I live in Peru In. Now
    I think it's a shame that they don't re do this Bridge, especially since people still need it to go to the store.
    I know where that old store is, and I really enjoyed seeing this Video.
    I know the Grays that live in the other side of the river.

    Spent this afternoon of March 25th , my Dad’s 79th birthday watching your videos. He said that was a good swinging bridge in it’s day and he said there’s usually a swag in the middle of a swinging bridge and that one was pulled tight. I wouldn’t be brave enough to get on it. I don’t even like walking across a bridge. Always afraid they are going to fall. 😬

    In late summer 1996, we had our family reunion at the Boy Scout camp for the whole weekend. I took all my cousins & my kids to one of these bridge for a few photos. I always loved walking this one, a smaller one, I can't remember exactly where, but around Baxter & the drive across one over to Dayhoit. My younger son was 6 yo and I took the pictures with a disposable camera. I asked him to put the camera up for me since I had finished the roll. When we got home, I asked him where he had put the camera he said "I put it in the trash. It was disposible"😂 I can laugh now, but that was our last reunion with everyone. Btw, we LOVED the Boy Scout camp for a reunion and my nephew Cody's wedding and reception was there!
