Indiana Covered Bridges

Not far from my campground is a county known for the many covered bridges there. They have a brochure with all the bridges marked on a map. After riding around aimlessly for half an hour, I spotted a tourist information center. Thank goodness, or I would have never found any. She told me there are 5 different routes and the Red one started right behind the office. Each route is clearly marked with the color on signs with big white arrows. With written detailed directions in hand, off Maggie and I went.

The first covered bridge was off the main route down a graveled road. The Crooks bridge was built in 1856 and is still in use.



McAllister Bridge was visible from the road and was built in 1914.



Neet Bridge was built in 1904 and is no longer in use.



Bridgeton bridge is the newest bridge we came to. It was built in 2006 to replace the original bridge destroyed by arson.



We ended our ride when it started to rain and headed back to the campground. Last night we had a thunderstorm. Usually storms do not bother Maggie, but she was beside herself last night. She just would not settle down. Today, it is just beautiful. At first I thought it was raining, but it was the sound of wind blowing through the trees. It was a balmy 67 when we took our first walk.

More people are coming in to camp. Guess this is the last big weekend of the summer. They are having a "Little Italy" parade in Clinton tonight at 5pm. I will have to find out exactly where. The park invites all who have golf carts to ride in the parade with them. On Sat. they are have a breakfast and on Sunday-6 games of "Candy Bar" Bingo. Until next time................
