This style of bridge is called a bowstring style, so it uses metal arches, and instead of rivets, they use hooks and clips, so the benefit to that back then was it was much easier to assemb Gervase Thompson, and we're at Amnicon Falls State Park.
I've been with the department of natural resources for about 28 years.
Actually, I've only been with parks for about three years.
So prior to that, I worked in fisheries for about and just made the jump to parks and really enjoy it, you know, it's just, I love interacting with people and you know, what better place than, this sta It's a beautiful state park, we get lots of visitors and we just tried to try to make visit very enjoyable.
