I can't help myself. Is it me? Am I wired to find this stuff? Or does it just arrive at my feet, like many females I've known throughout my life?
Regardless here is more of it. That's right, its the One, the Only - the
Peter Guice Bridge. It shoots across a steep divide, totally going east-west on that thing. I drove across it, and it was pretty slippery!

It is not known when Peter Guice got the idea to build a bridge across Green River where the Howard gap Road crosses but it was around 1820 that the bridge was built to avoid the loss of animals fording the raging waters of the river. About the same time, January 21, 1821, a son was born to Peter Guice. Through the years Peter Guice raised six boys and two girls. His son Joe had a family of two boys and six girls. The Guice family was on its way to becoming one of the largest families in Henderson and adjoining counties. ~~ ( * It should be remembered here that Peter's father, Phillip, had thirteen children, eleven boys and two girls and that Peter's two elder sons were Gabriel and Thomas Newton).
p.s. 8 kids? there was a lot of juice in that Peter.
