exposed. How much Of its length still
remains completely buried is I'M
known, but each year the action of the
elements brings more into view.
So far, time has graciously spared
the integrity of this natural curiosity.
but in the last few years the log has
begun to show signs of yielding to the
natural inclination of petrified trees
and in several places transverse cracks
appear. Fearing that the bridge
would tumble to destruction the gov.
ernment has recently had two stone
abutments erected under IL, making OF
