Gentry Bridge
We think this is the bridge that goes over Flint creek just
before the Sleepy Hollow store going north into Gentry from Siloam Springs. The crossroad (store on east side of road, and bed and breakfast on west) used to be called Dawn Hill Rd (may still be) and goes to the Adventist Academy going west, and to Hwy 12 and Springtown going East. Flint creek comes from the spring in Sprintown, about 5 miles from the bridge.
Hope this proves to be true and that it may help someone identify where the bridge is. It just has gaurd rails now and no top. Nice location.
