    Ashtabula county in Northeast Ohio has 19 covered bridges. The longest is over 600 feet.

    It's worth the money. I'm from California and have always found them in magazines, in 1978 ish i worked in a shoe store and one of the ladies told me that I needed to visit the falling leaves and the covered bridges. Have I visited, not yet

      If you're on the West Coast, probably easier to see the ones in Oregon--nice one in Lowell.

    Delightful story! I heard a long time ago that the bridges were covered so travelers could escape bad weather. I like your reason better.

      Glad you enjoyed it. It was a blast to research and shoot. Lots of architectural sources cite that reason for bridges being covered. That tidbit specifically came out of the covered bridge manual published by the US department of Transportation highways.dot.gov/media/6696

      Truth is I procrastinated for 8 months while trying to edit this video. But take this as a sign to visit a covered bridge in your area! www.coveredbridgesociety.org
