Hello again,

I see that you got the photo's posted. That's awesome. I saw another page for Randolph that you actually have a drg map with the area the bridge is found in, would you like me to submit these area's for you? I can if you would like. I also have some new photo's to add to your site. I will try and get those over the holdiay. Have a Merry Chrismas..

Thanks,
