This was the first of the covered bridges that I saw, in Ashtabula County (Ohio). It the newest of the 17, and also the longest covered bridge in the U.S.of A. I only got around to seeing 7 of the bridges, so I will have to make another trip, because I know how heartbroken you all will be if I don't post them all. He he he he.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Didn't know that they keep making covered bridges. Glad to see covered bridges are still being built up in Ohio. A great shot.

Wow!!! I had no idea there was such a bridge in Ohio. Great shot. You should send this to the bridge festival. It's much better then the pic that is online.

If they're all as stunning as this one Jim, I shall be extremely annoyed if you don't post them all. I double in size and turn a nasty green colour - you wouldn't want to tangle with me if I'm like that. ;~}

Use a 'chopper' Jimbob, it will be the easiest way, lol.

Very fine capture, my friend.

I love covered bridges although I have only seen them in movies and photos. We don´t have them here in Sweden as far as I know of. This is a very nice looking bridge and your photo is very well taken.

Excellent shot of this bridge. Brings back memories of younger days playing in and around such bridges. I only hope you get to go back, yes, so we can see all of them.
