Thanks, Don. If you find it or think of the title let me 
know. Meanwhile, I see if I can find anything on the 
Internet by that description.

Has anyone on the list designed or built such a bridge 
themselves? Getting to the lowest tractor crossing 
location with heavy equipment wouldn't be easy, would 
likely destroy more habitat than it's worth. I would say 
it needs to be about a 50 foot span and one side of the 
land is maybe 3-4 feet higher than the other. It would 
likely need to be 3 feet above the rock creek bottom to be 
of any use in crossing. Any supporting structures would 
have to be somehow anchored into conglomerate limestone 
which can be fragile...at least there is no frost line to 
consider.
