No, the bell is still there. It's slipped down because of loose mounting screws.

Two miles down French Creek is the site of the Hallman bridge, built in 1854, burned in 1927. It was replaced by this ugly steel grate bridge in 1928. All that survives of the original structure is the stone support in the middle of French Creek and the stone wingwalls. Like the wingwalls on the Sheeder-Hall bridge they've been given concrete caps to help keep them intact. However, as you can tell, the concrete is itself breaking off.
Another self-portrait back at Sheeder-Hall. This one didn't turn out too well; aside from the indistinct focus, my posture is horrible. And note the tights; this ride was my first time out with Nashbar's "Madison" bib tights. To get something that came close to fitting my waist, I needed to order a "tall" size, which means the tights cover the top of my shoes. Still, they are OK tights for 26 bucks on sale.

A ruin of some sort of structure on a local road.
