Yesterday was a beautiful autumn day and David and I took a ride to a nearby covered bridge. Cambell's Covered Bridge is the last standing covered bridge in South Carolina. It was built in 1909 over the narrow Beaver Dam Creek. It was built by Charles Irwin Willis and named after Alexander Lafayette Campbell, the owner/operator of a grist mill located near the bridge. The bridge is 35 feet long and 12 feet wide, so it is a relatively small. It has been restored twice since its completion, with the most recent being in 1990. It is a quaint little spot. We didn’t see any signs of the grist mill but there was a pretty little well nearby and we ran into a delightful couple from New York who told us there is a little cabin nearby as well. We couldn’t get to it due to a very muddy trail. I did spot a perfect location to hide a geocache so looks like we may be making another trip there in the near future. The bridge was picturesque and I took the photos shown here.
