The bridge that spans the precipice was a completely different matter, its maintenance was far less impressive, unfortunately the owners of the lodge had no influence over the town council, which was in charge of maintaining the bridge. If any repairs were needed the county was responsible for contracting for its repair, this has remained a low priority for the last five seasons.

Adrian Etsitty had pleaded with the council ever since that time, asking them to give the bridge some attention, his pleas were largely ignored. The county had its own plans for the land upon which the lodge now rests. The bridge had been constructed for their purposes, eventually the original developers of Dark Entry lodge purchased the lands before the council could close a deal.

Ever since that time relations between the Point and the county have been strained, the lack of general upkeep for the bridge was the ultimate result of this conflict.

The modeling agency had been prudent in choosing this time of the year, a time in which the Point was relatively empty, on the other hand it had been a particularly rough winter with much flooding and several small scale landslides. One of these incidences had caused some damage to the bridges under-structure, the council never sent out a surveyor to asses the extent of the damage.
