Covered Bridge

After spending a couple days at Cannon Beach, Or, with family, I was hoping to get some pictures on the way home, but poured rain all the way down the coast. Rain lightened up a little when I spotted this bridge between Mapleton, and Eugene, Or. off hwy 126.

Cool picture.

You are never to old to learn something new. I thought covered bridges were only a New England thing.

Man I bet that makes a neat sound walking thru it.

I agree . We have many here in PA but I never knew the west had them.
looks a bit narrow for vehicles though .

Cool !

We have quite a few of these here.

If you have ever seen the movie "Shanandoah" with James Stewart, Some of the scenes were filmed in the Cottage Grove, Or. area. The covered bridge segment was a few miles outside Cottage Grove.The bridge spans Row river, and is still there today. I have driven past it for years on the way to my parents house, but have never taken a picture of it.

Yes it is narrow with one lane. I drove through it in my pick up

Thanks All for your input. Heres one from the other side.

Great shot, Should see if you could get your big truck across it? You could make the news and be famous like that driver that did that fine job on the I-5 Skagit River Bridge collapse.
