I am Gordy Callison, I draw both in pen and ink and watercolor. My forte is old grist mills and covered bridges that are close to each other. That's why I'm putting in my two cents here. Does anyone know where the original Helmick Mill was located in conjunction with the covered bridge or for that matter does anyone have a picture, drawing, etching ect of the Helmick Mill from the road or from the stream? If you want to see what I do to old mills and covered bridges, take a look see at my website at: artbygordy.com

This bridge is in serious need of a fix up....
I found this bridge one day in 1999 and make it a point to come back at least once a month...this is a beautiful area in the middle of no where....there are times i come down to relax and meditate.....it is awful that kids have trashed this place and i think that more needs to be done to make it beautiful again.... I will be the first one there volunteering my time to help clean it up....
please let me know if and when this could possibly happen and get back with me
