We live in Linn County, Oregon. They boast that we have the most covered bridges west of the Mississippi, so your thread caught my eye!

I have had my bike for about 3 weeks now and been at two of them so far.

There are 19 in all. They range from the shortest bridge in the US to the longest!

Grew up in Indiana. We took a school field trip to this festival back in 1975 or 76. Apparently it's still happening. https://www.coveredbridges.com/

Parke County is Home to Indiana’s Largest Festival, The Parke County Covered Bridge Festival™ and “The Covered Bridge Capital of the World” with our 31 Covered Bridges all found in a rustic, charming setting. Each covered bridge comes with its own unique past...

Anyhoo

This weekend I was able to go out for a couple of hours and visit two more covered bridges. These were built within 3 years of each other.
