Re: A second natural bridge??

I can tell you how to get all of them, however, you do need a true 4 wheel drive. I always use a Jeep Wrangler. These "paths" are 10 times worse then the road to the Natural pool. Starting past the Goldmine ruins will be your first one, the next is at the Natural Bridge, (as previously mentioned), from there is where it gets tricky. As you get to the last descent on the paved road where the sihn says "welcome to the natural bridge" you will see a path that goes of to the right, it meanders back and forth up over the hill and you get a great shot of the Original natural bridge from up there. From there is where it gets hairy, you go down the hill and get to a sandy road, there is an old burned out car here, follow the road and you will come to an awesome beach, (can't remember the name right now, but the locals bodysurf there often), you then will continue past the beach and up a VERY Steep hill, you feel like you going to flip over backwards going up it, make sure you are in 4 low, from there is the first bridge, a few hundred more feet is several others, continue on the path and you will also find a small black sand beach with a little fishing hut sitting on it. Up and down several more hills and you will find the rest of the bridges, Many of these are small, but impressive. Continue on and you will see a no trespassing sign with some sand dunes, this is the original road to the natural pool that they closed of in 1998 or 1999. You will also see an old horse ranch there as well. Continue up ober the hill and you will connect to the road that now goes to the Natural pool. Don't try this in the late afternoon, or you will have the sun in your face the whole ride back, and you need to see where you are going, or you might not make it out. (at least not in the vehicle anyways) Good Luck!!!!
