Old Salmon Falls Bridge

Last Wednesday I drove out to Folsom Lake’s south fork with the Big Guy. He knew the old Salmon Falls Bridge was partially out of the water and wanted to try fishing from it. The last time I’d hiked the trail along Sweetwater Creek was back in 2020, so it’s been awhile! With the water level so low, it might seem there’s little of interest to photograph; but as I moved slowly across the somewhat barren landscape, I noticed more and more intriguing details.
