Home made bridge

You meander down the dirt road on your way to sage a round yurt. Because the dry creek bed is no longer dry you mentally prepare yourself to jump from rock to rock to get to the other side. But when you get to the new old creek though, there is a surprise waiting for you. Your ferral friend Skip has built a bridge. You laugh in a startled kind of way. You then remember that loud ass chainsaw that had been scaring the heck out of every living creature within a 1 mile radius. You finally put 2 and 2 together. The bridge is constructed out of eucalyptus, oak and rocks. You are impressed. It looks pretty solid. "Can a car drive across it?" You ask Skip. "I drove my truck across four times." He quickly responds. "The first time was easy. The next time it collapsed but I was able to jump my truck out of there. The last two times have been pretty good though."
