The Bridges of Linn County

The weather today is absolutely perfect. 65 or so degrees, clear blue sky, and no wind. Some of the trees have hints of Fall color. We decided we had to get out and about, so we went for a drive to find all of the covered bridges within about a 20 mile radius of where we live. What fun!

Here are a few photos from the day.

That's Jim walking over for a closer look at the Shemanek Bridge.













Here's the inside roof of the same bridge.
















This one is the Larwood Bridge. It was built in the 1930's.
































And here's the Hoffman Bridge, also built in the 1930's.

They're all starting to look sort of alike I think.

We got lost trying to find a couple of them, so we decided to save them for another day.

I love the lines and shapes in these buildings.

I love the lines and shapes in covered bridges too. How lucky you are to have so many close by!
