YOUR STATE AND MINE
W HERE Highway 76 crosa-

creek, between Anderson
and Clemson, near Sandy
Splines, is something that is
probably-unique in America.
A wooden bridge on a dirt
road that runs along the banks
of the creek crosses jqst above
the water. Directly over that is
a concrete bridge on Highway
76, and just above this bridge
is a long trestle on the Blue
Ridge Railway.
'Someone hot figured that five
levels and types ot transporta
tion could be seen at one time at
this point, one directly above
the other—a boat on the stream,
a wagon on the dirt road, an
automobile on the highway, a
train on the trestle, and a plane
in the sky.
Some ycart ago Robert Rip
ley, in his “Believe It or Not,”
carried an illustration of this
unusual spot. Although it was
published in several hundred
newspapers in America, chances
are there are a great many
South Carolinians who do not
know about it, and many have
doubtless crossed the bridge
without noticing it.
