Covered Bridges

Covered bridge in Highland Park in Kokomo. The bright red Vermont Covered Bridge in Highland Park is the final remaining Smith Type #3 Trusses in Indiana. The bridge is a transplant from the town of Vermont, which is about 5 miles east of Kokomo. www.cityofkokomo.org/department/division.asp?fDD=13-76

The leaves are in the process of changing colors and I will soon go on a Covered Bridge hunt. I thought I'd start it off with a shot of my old GTA with the Bridge in Highland Park. The GTA has spent the last two years trapped in the garage and I'm still burning the old fuel out of it. Today was a beautiful day to do that.

I suspect somewhere in my slide collection I have a photo of this bridge from 25 years ago when I first crossed it. It was too unstable for cars to cross then. No sidewalls and barely a roof. You could see the stream through the floorboards of the bridge. Originally built in 1872 ... it still serves traffic today in it's restored form.
