| I found the open plank flooring used on every bridge to be a bit disconcerting, its probably just me.... |
I've finally gotten around to showing you some of the pretty covered bridges around the Eugene area. We both enjoyed taking a sort of scavenger hunt looking for four or five of them, the countryside was beautifully rural. Problem is, since its taken so long to do this post, I've totally forgotten which is which and where they were! And.....I've thrown out all the literature I collected on them. Perhaps you can read the plaques over the doorways, or perhaps you can just enjoy them without any information whatsoever!

| each bridge had different style windows |
 |
| here comes Dave |
 |
| (don't look Bill) fish seemed to congregate beneath one of the bridges |
 |
| one of the huge beams that were typically used (One of the covered bridges was actually a museum) |
 |
| beautiful riparian scene from one of the windows (pay no attention to the woman and the string) |
 |
| we enjoyed getting down below the bridges and seeing their underpinnings |
 |
| this shape was tailored specifically for tall log trucks |
BEAUTIFUL bridges! But what was that woman doing with the string?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Lancaster, PA with all its covered bridges. That one tall one is a perfect RV covered bridge:) It's interesting how different each one is inside.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I enjoy the photos just fine without the details ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not just you :-) Love all the intricate woodwork throughout these beauties. How wonderful to find one with a museum! He had to look, and wants to know how long it will take to get to Eugene :-)))))
ReplyDeleteWe've always meant to get around to searching out the covered bridges but haven't yet done so. (I've only lived in Oregon for 20 years, there's still time!) Thanks for the preview tour! I enjoy just seeing your photos of the bridges—no details necessary.
ReplyDeleteThat first one looks like the Good Pasture bridge and the little red one I missed when I was out there! I too had fun going and looking for the covered bridges when in that area.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Sue!
ReplyDeleteI did not even know that there are covered bridges in Eugene! And I thought they are only built in Vermont or in that area :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the tour now we don't have to find them your photos will suffice for now.
