Madison County in Iowa is full of covered bridges. Clint Eastwood made a movie about them. The wife and I went there about 6 years ago. Gotta say it was pretty neat to see.

There are very few here in the south, something about termites.

No problem, I do covered bridge trips trips every once in a while. They are always on pretty roads and fun to see.
Also do waterfalls trips. There is a web page for that also.

Cool pics! I did a quick search for covered bridges near me and found 3 within a 100 miles from me. So once the snow and rain stops I going for a ride.

Yeah, pretty cool destination rides for sure. A friend sent me a link to an outside forum where a guy documented visiting every Covered Bridge in Oregon. It was a cool read but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to other forums or not?

Frederick, MD, and Lancaster County in PA each have several covered bridges in the area.

Lancaster Co doesn't surprise me a bit with all the Amish living there.. It's beautiful riding down there too.
