Kennebecasis River No.23 (Malone)

The Kennebecasis #23 is the closest to the source of the Kennebecasis River in the foothills of Albert County.  This is another out-of-the-way bridge that requires attention to directions and a vehicle that can negotiate some rough spots on the old logging roads in and out.  Travelling in from the west off the 114, the Goshen Road is the worst part of it.  We came in from the east on the 895 to the Upper Goshen Road, which was in much better shape, and continued through to the 114 and from there down to Fundy Park.  If we didn't have an SUV, it would have been dodgy in places past the bridge, as it was deeply rutted from previous rains.  

The barn on the land beside the bridge has a sign proudly proclaiming the Malone name and year of establishment of the homestead.  It is obviously from this family that the bridge got its name.

A return trip after three or four years.  The roads aren't any better and the bridge seems to be in the process of being consumed by the wilds around it.
