This place turned creepy real quick! If the gun shot wasn’t creepy enough, the whistling in the woods was far creepier. It’s not hunting season, and there are no military ranges nearby. I also never saw another car after I ran that couple off accidentally before I started recording. Jorg says: “Just watched your video, and it just dawned on me the reason I found this bridge. Years back there was a dog fighting ring nearby that someone told me about and we actually loaded up guns and hung out on the bridge on Saturday nights to listen for anything that would bring us to the location where the fights were taking place. I should have told you that when I told you about the bridge.” The magnet I’m using: amzn.to/2Irembw The rope: amzn.to/2DhcjTe

I love old houses and old bridges. Theses older things were so much more throughout and have way more beautiful architecture then what we do today. People had more pride in what they built back in the day. It's so sad to see the old houses and bridges rot away. I feel like if these things had been taken care of they would last longer. That's the bridges. The older beautiful houses just makes me cry. Sorry I know that's just crazy. But there was so much more back than, than what people are building today. I love what you do. You have such reference for wherever you go. Rather it's an old bridge or house but, especially the forgotten cemeteries. God bless you

What a beautiful place. When you were under the bridge and the sun was shining through the trees and the bridge from underneath would make a really perfect pic

Stay safe, I like your videos. Think about carrying a weapon. Better to have and not need, than need and not have.

These vids really should be a TV Series.

I could almost visualize the old cars going across that bridge!

This bridge dates to the late 1920's, or the early 1930's. The US Highway system [NOT the Interstate Highway system] was created in 1926. The builders of the early US highways employed this arch-type bridge construction, and it was copied along secondary highways. US Highway 1 at Big Sur on the California coast has some very large examples of this type of bridge. I'm actually surprised this bridge is abandoned. The arch-type bridges at Big Sur see heavy use to this day. It's a very strong design.

What a breathtaking adventure! You'd have to submit forms for permission Im sure, but the wide shot below of the bridge on the cover could help market a Sidestep Adventures calendar to build and fund your brand.

You have “balls” my friend walking a creek barefoot! But the scenery is beautiful!

I wonder if the bridge might have been a depression-era WPA project. Such a beautiful bridge amongst such beautiful scenery!

Truly one of if not THE best videos Robert. BEAUTIFUL sight! Thanks!

That was a beautifully designed and built bridge, from an era when that was the norm. In stark contrast to the modern (military) bridge next to it. Beautiful scenery as well...aside from the trash pileup.

You're OK...until you hear banjo music.

in yesteryear form was just as important as function it sad that most of us have forgotten that form is important too

That's awesome that you restore and fix/build vintage VW's. I used to do the same back in the 80s. I had a baby blue DuPont Imron paint job 1964' California style bug,(not stock) with a 2180 cc motor that I built, that made it into HOT VW's Magazine. It did a 14 second quarter mile! Those were the days..We could sure have some great conversations about VW's! Wish I could see your shop but I live in Washington state. Have a great day Robert! - Ken

Very beautiful place,Thanks Robert!👍🙋🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

That was fun!! I was pretty worried about your walking bare-feet for broken glass that might be there. You walked quite a ways it seemed. That bridge that THE most beautiful I have ever seen. I believe it was a private bridge built to get to someone's grand estate. The wood carving on the underside had to have been a private job. It was so fun to see it! Glad you got out of there safe and sound. Looking forward to watching some magnet fishing one day. God bless and thank you for your videos. Love that calm and interesting voice. OH, you have such unusual trees there, beautiful trees that I have never seen before. Also I hear a bird occasionally in the background that I have never heard. I like that we know what you do for a living and that you enjoy your labor. That is just wonderful. You don't know the viewers, but each one of is us just one person watching and enjoy getting to know you and seeing your hidden finds. Thank you. God bless.

Love you man from an Irishman here in Svendborg ,Denmark.

Wow that was freaky towards the end. The whistling means at least 2 people were watching you. One signaling the other(s). The gunshot was probably a warning to scare you off.. and of course it worked. Im betting there is something illegal (drugs) in the area growing and they didn't want you to find it

When you go to these abandon bridges or any bridges look for the benchmarks. Usually they would be on either end of the bridge. Such great history!!! Thanks for all your great adventures you allow us to come along with you on.

Thanks Robert, I watched this at work, very relaxing. Beautiful bridge, really nice. The creek walk had some nice scenery. Glad you didn't meet the person with the gun. Have a good day

That is an absolutely beautiful bridge. The water looks clear too. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and love your quality of work, so I subscribed! You are such a sweet and kind soul. May God always watch over you and protect you from harm.

This was beautiful scenery. Nice find. Thanks George, & stay safe!

Thank you for that incredible creek walk... Absolutely beautiful. Loved that old bridge as well. I really enjoy all your videos. Watching from the North Island of New Zealand.

HI!, Robert, I enjoy seeing the bridges you show on your film. This bridge is a very wonderful bridge. Thank you for showing it to me! And your commentary is very informative.

I kinda thought you should keep the camera rolling as you walk out of there. Very nice bridge share,

The second gun shot I heard please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends

I'm almost a year late watching this, but I'm new watching these. Love watching these, and I think your doing a magnificent job. You are caring, and so respectful. As I'm watching this, it occurs to me you do not need to be by yourself. If someone shot you, or you just got hurt. you may never be found.

Thank you Robert for ALL these videos. I am so enjoying them. You are taking me on adventures I will not go on because of my desire to keep a distance from biting bugs, snakes, and being inside creepy abandoned buildings. And, thanks for sharing about your work on Volkswagens. Have been blessed to own at least 2 VW Beetles (not sure of the year of each but they were well before those "fake" Beetles) in my young adult days. Again, great videos! Thank you and God bless all that you do. 👍🙂💕🙏

WOW is right on this Bridge! Incredible architecture. I can not imagine the time it took to build that and so much cement !!! A hide treasure for sure. Looks like some flooding in the creek bed with all those trees down and rocks ! I use to love walking up creeks when younger... also an adventure !!! I am way up in Central New York so I am loving the sounds of the South ....

Took an amazing amount of carpenter craftsmanship to sheath the wooden forms around the rebar following the blueprints. I have seen similar bridges in California. Thanks for posting ~ from Texas

Rob, I am a great fan of your videos. I live in Vermont but I have ancestral connections throughout the southern states. You seem like the nicest guy on earth, and you have serious talent in the way you present the information. Please don't ever change or more importantly--ever get hurt!

Your videos are so addictive. You make them so interesting.. I watch them every day. Very relaxing and interesting. I trained in a similar area like this but in Tennessee when I was in the Marines.

I heard it! Truly absolutely beautiful! Really enjoyed your abandoned bridge video!

Absolutely beautiful bridge. By for one of the best you've explored. Gorgeous nature. Thanks you so much for taking us along. I hope you will revisit this sight again. Stay safe and God Bless.

What a picturesque bridge. After a rather chaotic day, I certainly enjoyed and unwound while following you across the bridge and thru the creek. Ah, wish I could do that in person! Thanks for taking us along.

I recently visited my Daughter and her family in Lakeland GA. and found your channel somehow. Beautiful videos and so much more history than we have in Arizona. Ran into a group of guys in vintage cars visiting the old folks homes in Lakeland on the 4th, there was one old bug, was it one of yours? Really impressed that they would take the time to share with the residents. Love Georgia, looking forward to visiting again, just not in July!

Indeed a beautiful bridge! Those arches and columns really add to the beauty you can only see from below. Thanks for taking us down under,,,,,the bridge! Glad you didn't feel lead! It is spooky to hear gun shot near by out of the blue. You just don't know what's going on. A better place to throw your magnet next time and Thanks again for another adventure! DaveyJO in Pa.

You Always nail the details down. Smooth camera work. I honestly feel like I went along on the adventure. But when you mention spiders, I’m so glad I’m on the other side of the protective screen 😉 You are aware of your surroundings 👍🏻. Vintage VW.s !! My eyes opened wider on that one 🌸☮️💃🏻I hail from a family of gear heads. I like to see what car your driving, almost always different... Love it ☮️

I love your videos you’re a very remarkable young man to treasure these historic places.

Thank you so much for your videos. I am so thankful for people such as yourself. If you ever come to North Carolina, let me know! I would love to tell you of a few places you should visit! I wish that everyone had the love and respect that you have for these abandoned graves and places!

BEAUTIFUL old bridge.I never seen one like this. Thanks. ♡

It's a beautiful bridge and so is the woods. Glad you have a new magnet and rope. Shocking to hear the gunfire and I'm happy that you were able to leave safely.

Definitely one of the most beautiful places you have videoed. Really cool to learn that you work on old VW's. Wish I had an old Bug or van.

The decomposing old concrete is the coolest! I love the texture and color of it!

You sir are awesome Im a VW lover and have been FOR along time I'm a VW mechanic by trade trained in air-cooled stuff. VW FOR LIFE.

This bridge looks like something built by the WPA..especially from the decor on the pillars that look like 1930s design. The WPA did some really beautiful work in concrete during those years. The oldest part of Bayshore Dr Ballustrade on the seawall of Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida was built by the WPA and is very similar to the top sides of your bridge although not crumbling as are those on your bridge. It continues to be enjoyed by hundreds-thousands every day walking, jogging & cycling along it.

I have mentioned before that I have a fear of bridges but this one is so beautiful. I've not been on any abandoned bridges where I live in Oregon but I think I'd like to find one or two just to see the magnificent architecture that was used years ago. Thank You for taking us along with you on this adventure.

Wow Robert, that the most beautiful Ridge l have ever seen. Those arches under it are so amazing, l have never seen anything like that before. And looking up at the railway bridge the creek was absolutely gorgeous. Those gun shots where worrying though. Thank You so much for the videos Robert, your a real Southern Gentleman,l love your accent, so different from here. Keep Safe, Debra from Australia. 🌿🍀🌷🌹

Such a beautiful bridge. I agree with you about the beautiful arch's under it and the craftsmanship was more like Art. Thanks for showing us your local treasure. Stay safe!

What a truly beautiful bridge - thanks for sharing it. Glad you are safe. Be careful. I get nervous when you go out alone.

Love that old bridge!! Thanks Rob.

I enjoy your videos tremendously. Your camera work is excellent. I'm very impressed with you being a vintage VW mechanic. Don't forget your flashlight next time. LOL Take care, God Bless.

Yikes!! Sorry about the near shooting😵 Really gorgeous bridge! I just adore old bridges too💕🌉 I love mimosa trees, one of my favorite. My dad had a couple of Volkswagen buses. One was a camper van

Hi new sub here. Wow such a pretty area, that thunder sounded real loud. That bridge was gorgeous, I think the arch that was what gave that special look. Glad you didn't get shot. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. x

Stay safe out there Robert. That was scary!

I really love watching your adventures. Makes my day each time. What I would like to ask is the relation between you Brian and Cody. You guys are all amazing.

It's amazing that you find little places where I have been years ago growing up!

Beautiful old bridge, but the creek is even more gorgeous! Creek walking, nice! I miss doing that!

1920's-30's imagine, old Model T cars, maybe a horse and buggy, going across on a sunny day or a stormy night. Thanks for sharing and please be careful, always.💞💕

Be careful out there by yourself! My goodness! ❤️

You are one brave person, the gunshot gave me the Willie's ,chills.

Beautiful bridge. Thank you for sharing. But plz don’t head out alone, and plz get an orange etc cap or vest. Your comment shows you got away safely Thank the Good Lord! Stay safe

Love old bridges and your videos!

Cant believe you arent carrying, at least for the snakes.

Gosh, never heard of magnet fishing before. Who knew? The bridge is fabulous. Another thank you for sharing. Please be safe.

Love the sound of that water running in the creek over the rocks. So peaceful and calming... until you hear gunfire. 😳🤭😰. Really like your videos. 🤗👍🏼✌🏼😊

So beautiful, like you said. TY for sharing.

Robert, that sounded like a high powered rifle to me, but I don’t know. However I go camping with my husband when he goes deer hunting and that sounded like a deer rifle to me. But I’m sure you would know more than me. As your mom would say, “Please be careful!” That bridge is beautiful! Thanks again for another nice video trip in the woods and along the river.

Very beautiful old bridge. I can't place it's location, but glad you found it!!

You have a nice voice, just love your videos and listening to you talk. Thanks for all you share with you tube .

Oh awesome! My first car was a 71 Super Beetle! That was a great car!

I spent half my childhood barefoot in a creek. Someone on their property somewhat nearby could've been shooting or shot something. Or you almost got murdered. Who knows. Loved the video! Architecture is fascinating.

Stay safe, Robert. I enjoyed the video.

That was an Amazing bridge. Those wood pillars were something!! They don’t make bridges like that anymore. Told bad they didn’t restore it and keep it open. Any idea where the bridge used to go?? Omg you scared me with this video. I was having such a relaxing moment with that running water and lush green forest. Until I heard the gun shot 😳 I hate when people pollute and throw their junk! That’s just horrible it’s so beautiful there!! You have a super cool job! I am restoring a 64 Chevy Truck fleet side. I’m learning to sand it down myself. I know nothing about motors but I hope to learn to do the body work and primer it and then get somebody to paint. My dream truck is the five window. Maybe I will sell this one and get me a five window. You have a super cool job and a super cool you tube. Maybe one day I can get up the hill from where I live in CA and do a video of an old cemetery. The town used to be a gold rush town. Then you can see what Our old cemetery looks like. You guys have tons of history over there. Thanks for sharing all these videos. Maybe you should take somebody with you. It’s too dangerous to go alone. That area seems dangerous. Makes me think of Humboldt in CA. It’s beautiful but you have to be careful where you go. I hope you are packing when you go to dangerous places like that. I guess your friend should have warned you 🤦🏽‍♀️

Such a beautiful bridge that has been forgotten such a shame too and so glad you made it out ok

Just now seeing this. What a stinking cool place. Thanks for braving it.

Be careful too many nuts around

Love the bridge, cool rocks in the creek bed, too. Please reconsider solo exploration, yikes!

Very beautiful old bridge. I could almost see the old cars across the bridge be safe 💜❤️

Cool job. My first GF came from an all-VW family. In their driveway they had a Beetle, a Squareback, and a Rabbit. Sadly all gone to scrap decades ago.

That is a neat bribe , glad you got out ok. Great videos.

Love the history of the places you find beautiful places thank you 😊

Such a beautiful area and such a shame that people are so disrespectful and dump trash. I will never understand. Stay safe, that gun shot was scary!

As a geocacher I can’t help but wonder what the metal piece was on one of the arch supports. Could it be a secret cache?

You are really in the country!!! Yery interesting at the bridge...

Great video. Neat to learn you work on VW's im helping a friend restore a 65 bug.

Wow that bridge is amazing and awesome the way they built it cool

This exploration was so amazing to go on with y! I love your videos! That bridge is still cool!

It is a nice place, and a beautiful bridge, I would like to be there myself. I love the things that yall do and find what ever you do , don't stop what you do...

carry some heat, just in case. my husband and i had a sweet '73 vw super beetle convertible, yellow. wish we still had it!

What a beautiful bridge, especially looking over the side into the creek. 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍 Australia

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you

That was really cool! Thank you!!! You should “carry” for your safety.

Looks like a beautiful WPA bridge! I have mimosa envy! But, yeah, people in the woods are kind of terrifying.

I'd love too know more about the bridge, name, year it was built etc etc Thanks for another great video! ❤😄

wow, this bridge is so inspiring. In its day, what a beauty this bridge must have been. Too bad to see his condition nowadays.

My autistic son's love old Volkswagen bugs thank you sharing 💖 💖

You have become one of my favorites.❤️

Walking in the creek again? I envy you and VWs too cool. The whistles gave me the whillys Robert! All I could think of was The Hill's have Eye's Movies! YIKES. Time to Go.
