The Natural Bridge

Hello. Today I m going to tell you about my birthday/mothers day trip to the Natural Bridge.



So on Friday my mom, grandma, and myself went on a vacation to the Natural Bridge. When we got there we went to the gift shop and looked around a while. Then we got lunch. After lunch we went to the Natural Bridge. Then we sat down while a tour guide told us about its history.



The bridge was huge. It was also very cool. The highway, I believe that it is highway 11, runs across the top of the bridge. It is cool because from the top you can't tell that your on the bridge and underneath you can't tell there is a highway.



So once we got to the bridge and the presentation was over we went further down the trail. About five minutes later we got to an Indian camp which was a reenactment of a 1700's Indian tribe. It was pretty neat. Then we went down to a bat poo mine. The mine is called a saltpeter mine. The dung was used to make gunpowder during the Civil War. After that we walked all the way down to the falls. They aren't to big but they are pretty.



I loved going to the Natural Bridge. It was an amazing experience.
