It's STILL Independence Day (The final part)

Next it was onto the final leg of our Independence journey.

Here is the path that led us to our next bridge, The Wright.

Here is a boat that looked like it hadn't been used in awhile along the path.




Natalie using her resources to figure out which bridge we are out and where the next bridge is.  Turns out we were at the (W)right one!

Inside the Wright railroad bridge.

This bridge also had large gaps on the border of the floor.


Loved this view from inside the Wright.

After traveling down the street.  We saw the sign that led us to Pier Covered Bridge.  We followed the stairs and approached the bridge.

My shadow on the Pier Covered Bridge.

The trusses on the Pier Covered Bridge.

This "appears" to be the pier on the Pier Bridge.

Apparently Captain Slushy was here.

This is underneath the Pier Bridge.

These are the supports of the Pier Bridge underneath.  We read that it was worth the trip below the bridge.  I have to agree.


Natalie wading below the Pier Bridge.  Isn't summer grand?!?!
Odd looking water bugs.  Anyone know what these are creatures are?

Watch your step!

Cooling off after a tough day hunting!

What are you wading for?!?!


These taggers were also impressed by the truss system.  They felt the need to write that the "This Bridge Is the $#!t!  I have to agree!

There is a cute park that is a boundary for the Corbin Bridge.

Here is another view of the park.  


Tada!  It's the Corbin!  It was constructed around 1845.

Here is the Corbin Covered Bridge plaque.  

Here is a bridge that should be on a postcard!


I bet Oklahoma's covered bridges aren't this pretty!


Ooo!  The Corbin is so pretty!

Bridge or barn?

Look at the view!

It's the McDermott!

This has to be some of the most interesting graffiti that we have seen.  This squid is located on the uncovered bridge that runs parallel to the McDermott Covered Bridge. 

The Langdon Covered Bridge Association takes their work seriously.  They like to make their own signs to label the bridges.

More beautiful trusses.  

Natalie planks the McDermott.  

The McDermott is no longer in use.  It's neighbor is the true path these days.


What a photogenic bridge!

Look a Wooly Mammoth!  Just your typical NH adventure!

Do you see what I see?  A polar bear!

The Langdon Covered Bridge Association presents the Prentiss!  It is the state's smallest bridge.  We saw the longest and shortest on the same day! Go team!


Here is the bench for the Prentiss, I am sure that the Prentiss uses it a lot.

What a cute bridge!

Hey Natalie, how many bridges did you see today?
Oh, 23?


As the sun sets this beautiful 4th of July, these bridge hunters/bloggers start the drive home.  It was a 4th of July that won't be forgotten.  When we set out I had my doubts about the number of bridges we would find in one day.  We surpassed my expectations.   Isn't that what America is all about?
