For the first time in a while, Dale and I took a ride out into the countryside. Our aim was to have our first country hike since Dale's heart surgery last Spring. On the way to our destination, we came across another of western Oregon's covered bridges.
Crawfordsville Bridge, built in 1932, is no longer open to car traffic. It's seen better days, for sure. The covered bridge is covered in a tarp!
It's now a walking bridge with some nice views of the Calapooya River.
We visited it in early September, apparently just missing its annual celebration
which seems to be fairly small, if only 50 people are allowed on the bridge at a time.
These old bridges a wonderful works of architecture. I always enjoy stopping by when I'm in the vicinity.
Since Dale helps with our granddaughter on Tuesdays, our get-out-and-about day is now Friday. Thus begins my new series, Friday Fieldtrips.
