Diverted by Shoofly Bridge

Fall Color Report, Shasta Cascade

Shoofly Bridge, Indian Creek, Plumas County (10/22/19) Michael Beatley

It’s derelict, but boy is it pretty, especially with fall color reflecting below Shoofly Bridge in Indian Creek.

Plumas County color spotter Michael Beatly shares his images of Shoofly (an old miner’s term meaning “diversion” – also, the Shoofly Complex is a metamorphic rock structure found in the Northern Sierra) which sits at a bend in the creek, which – Michael opines – is probably the reason the old bridge (erected in 1889) is still standing today.
