Thirty-Nine Years Ago

Tallulah Falls, Georgia

This is a photograph of the four lane Tallulah Falls Georgia Bridge near the Dam.  39 years ago this was a two lane bridge where we stopped because traffic ahead of us had stopped.  I looked up just in time to see an 18 wheeler trying to stop.  Unfortunately the truck stopped with the bumper even with the back window of our Mercury Montego.  Fortunately we were not injured; however our Montego was a total loss.  We had to hitch hike home from our Honey Moon.

This is a current view of the dam which is just South of the Bridge shown above.  Because of the new bridge much of the local scene has changed; however we appreciated the opportunity to revisit the area of the 1972 accident.  Both of these pictures were taken on October 7th as when we took the opportunity to "retrace our 1972 Honey Moon trip."
