Found a covered bridge out in the country. Why not stop for a couple pics...









Guilford, IN off Route 1

 

Very nice James. Covered bridges always make a nice backdrop.

Here are a few from my trip to New Hampshire but before I had my Crossfire.

 

its the covered bridge thread! Cool guys, I can't wait to cruise into Park County in a few weeks...we should all go.....

 

ppro,

I used to do a bunch of Geocaching myself. Kinda lost interest once I got the Crossfire. Fun game with the family and friends. Have an interest in Benchmark hunting as well? I found Benchmark Hunting a bit more challenging.

We still do it though admittedly our Geocaching is more oriented around the Jeep.

Next weekend I am running a GPS event at a Boy Scout Camporee. Been busy all weekend setting up the plans and site.

 

James, it is evident that no bugs exist in your area!
Nice pics.!

 

Haha, I like the last pic you posted ppro

 

That would be my "Travel Bug Crossfire".

I have a travel bug number on my Crossfire - still waiting to see if a Geocacher notices and "discovers" it...

 

I think covered bridges are cool looking but I still don't understand the concept. If your going to cover the bridges, why not cover areas of the road also?

 

Way back when bridges were made out of wood, they covered them to keep them from rotting and in the northern areas to keep them clear of snow. The idea being that it's harder to clean off a bridge than the road. Maybe it's not as heavy to keep the snow of the driving deck (it would melt off the roof quicker than if it's packed down from traffic) and effectively reduce the amount of weight the bridge needs to support in winter.

Naw, they just did it to make them cool and historical looking!
