Va. Creeper wooden bridges, and track charts??

[NW Mailing List]

The Washington County treasurer asked for an image of the trestle at Watauga
for use as the Personal Property tax decal in 2005. (The decals were
eliminated after 2008). Here is a scan of that decal made from an image I
shot for the County.
