A wet two-lane road toward Dingmans Falls is blocked by barricades and warning signs, including a large sign reading “BRIDGE OUT,” with snow piled along the sides. They were not kidding. The bridge is gone

Just a bit lower the ravine opens up and Hornbeck creek becomes a lazy forest stream winding through a leafless winter forest.
