We took this drive seeing all these covered bridges in 1 day, I figured since they are all so close together, why not share on the blog, all at once. Fun to see the similarities and differences. What a ball. Kind of rainy. Enjoyable trip. You have to go with the flow, if it rains you have to deal and just enjoy that trip no matter, what??! I am laughing due to how I did input the pictures; you think that the picture will stay in that order, but blogger (google) has a mind of its own. Oh well. All good. 2021. Hope you are well this week. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Great post! Yes, Blogger does not post pictures in order. If I want a particular one to show up as the thumbnail, I’ll post it first and then go back and add the other ones underneath it.

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees?
