Trout Creek No. 5 (Moores Mills)

We finally revisited the two little bridges that span Trout Creek near Poley Mountain, southeast of Sussex.  Driving up through Fundy National Park, we thought we'd try something new - taking the Shepody Road west across country following the signs to Adair's Wilderness Lodge on Creek Rd.  The roads are not paved for about 20 km of this route until a little way north on Creek Rd, but they are in good condition overall (it's been a hot, dry summer so far this year, so caution to anyone reading this at a later date when seasonal changes can vastly alter these road surfaces).   

Trout Creek is a tributary of the Kennebecasis River that eventually empties into the Saint John River.  It is shallow enough to wade in and take profile photographs of the bridge here as it meanders along.  The bridge itself is one of the smaller ones in the province, extending less than 18m in length.  Of note, there is a measuring stick in the bank below against one of the abutments, which is the first time I have ever seen one in situ under a covered bridge, presumably put there for recording water levels in spring and other high water conditions.
