That's awesome. I wonder if that's the cab SW of Devil's Rest?

Good find.
Possibly of interest, the original Benson Bridge was a log bridge. There are a few old postcards that display that bridge. Evidently the mist from the falls rotted the bridge quickly, or at least made it too slick to cross.

Remove the cement and make the bridge into one of those swaying rope deals with a few missing slats here and there.

There'd still be people in platform shoes trying to cross it..
