Auchumpkee Bridge




Oct 2nd we headed out of Macon GA on US 80 headed south to Columbus. Along the way we discovered Auchumpkee Bridge. It is a 96 feet long wooden bridge also known as Zorn's Mill. After taking in the view we shot up to Thomaston on US 19, forgetting our original destination, and looped back to Macon on GA 72. Nice afternoon ride.

If you want to find the bridge here are the directions: Take US 80S from Macon approx 40 miles. Look for a historic marker (brown sign) about 10 miles out of Roberta. Turn right and the bridge is approx 1 1/2 miles on the right. While on Hwy 80 you get to Hwy 19, you've gone too far. Turn around and look for the Historic marker. After you get to the bridge you can continue down the road and you end up on GA 19.
