OK....here's another breath-taking view....rough to take isn't it? And note: plenty of blue sky!
We headed off today toward the world's longest covered bridge. It wasn't more than 1/2 hour from the Route #1 that we've been following down the east side of Maine. It was well worth the stop.
Dawson got a certificate for walking the bridge.
Good thing I took a picture of it, because I placed it for safe keeping (?) on my seat while we went inside the gift shop. Of course, Tommy jumped in on the seat. But it just got wrinkled a bit.
These pictures aren't in a chronological order, of course. This is the first view we had of the bridge....impressive, huh? Thanks AndreaThis is also supposed to be the "kissing bridge"...because the elders preached against the cover on the bridge; it would cause the moral decay of the young, they thought. Yes, young folk used to head their buggy across and then stop in the middle for a smooch. And, yes, we did.
This bridge has been around 110 years. Quite a testament to the workmanship.

Love it. I'm glad I called you and dad about it. What an amazing bridge. A side note, it has been worked on in the past 20 or 30 years. I think in the 80's. But it still is an amazing craft to build a bridge that long that as stood this long.
