Here are some photos taken March 18, 2007. They are from the north to south...
North Branch Twelve Mile Creek Bridge
This bridge is scheduled to be removed and relocated to the City of Mitchell to be used as part of the City's bike/pedestrian trail system. On March 18, 2007, the bridge was no longer passable - high water from recent snow melt washed behind the north concrete abutment moving it southward. I've got some pictures I'll post one of these days.
