Easley Bridge (1927) is the oldest of the three remaining covered bridges in Blount County, all of which are still in use. Located in the Rosa community, the bridge spans the Dub Branch. Members of the Tidwell family built all of the Blount County bridges.

Hey Greg, I remembered you telling me about camping there, kinda of a small campground.

Had one of the tightest 'hair-pin' turns (surounded by trees no less) in the camping area I have ever come across in my camping career! YIKES

I am sure I can get out of my shakles at work any time! (hey, isn't there a thread about shakles somewhere around here? ) Heck, I'll meet you there today!
