After our 4th of July antics we had a bit of a bridge hangover. But there is no stop for the weary! So on this day we set out to see three bridges...
This time we also took a driver...
The Keniston Bridge was built in 1882.
There was very pretty scenery surrounding the Keniston.
Good trusses, make good frames.
TIMBER!!! Into the Blackwater River in Andover!
Another view of the Keniston...
From the bridge, you can see the railroad bridge.
Oh look, it's a blogger in her natural habitat!
Very profound bridge art.
So we pulled up down a road that was filled with character. Welcome to Cilleyville!
At first, we were disappointed because it appeared this would be a bridge that we could not walk across.
Like they say, "can't go over it, gotta go under it." What pretty scenery.
Time to check out the supports under the bridge in Cilleyville.
The coast is clear.
Now it's time to check out the top of the bridge. This is when we noticed the picnic table on the closed bridge. Hmmm.
Who closed this bridge? Oh, the selectman.
Oddly enough this side of the bridge is not closed.
We loved the spirit with the American Flag on this bridge.
The Cilleyville is Covered Bridge # 16.
Cilleyville must be home to some large termites.
The first two bridges of the day were very easy to find. The third is an unrecognized bridge. We traveled for a good 30 minutes looking for this bridge, but we were surrounded by warnings of no trespassing and houses that looked like they owned several guns and large dogs. We could not see any bridge from the road. There also did not appear to be any public pathways to access the bridge without a personal invitation. So if any followers have a connection to the Brundage Covered Bridge, please let us know.
This is what the Brundage would have looked like if we were there:
THE BRUNDAGE!!!
