My sister Pam recently retired to Chapel Hill which means we can go on the occasional road trip together. In April, the two of us celebrated Independent Bookstore Day with trips to Hillsborough’s Purple Crow,  Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, McIntyre’s in Fearrington Village, and The Country Bookshop in Southern Pines. Along the way we stopped at this camelback bridge that spans the Deep River between Chatham and Lee counties. I had never heard of a camelback bridge but, looking at the picture, it’s easy to see where it gets its name. No longer used for traffic, the bridge seems now to be mostly a place where people come to fish, take pictures for special occasions like proms, and take advantage of a quiet place for reflection over the still, muddy waters of the Deep River.
