Part 2 - Covered Bridges of Astabula County

This morning Jake, Nancy, Dean and I took to the highways in search of the last five covered bridges. The tour map said is was 66 miles total - well that sounded good but after a really confused start and a GPS that had a mind of her own it was more like 166. Not really but it was beginning to feel like it! A couple of these bridges were very elusive and we had to double back to find them. Unfortunately, the map doesn't really give the best directions and their signage for the covered bridges and the Ohio highway signs don't make it a easy task finding anything. In spite of it all we had a really great time on our road trip. We stopped for lunch in a don't blink or you'll miss it town named Rock Creek - very good! We made a few stops at some yard sales where Jake found a 12volt cooler for $2.00 (and it works!) and a fire poker for $1.00. It was certainly his day for bargains. The Jeep made a turn into Dairy Queen in Rome so we just had to have some ice cream - naturally. That was yummy...

This afternoon we just relaxed, sitting outside talking and watching for friends of Jake and Nancy to drive in. A bon-fire is in our future in just a little while so will close for now.

The second set of bridge pictures are posted on Picasa - go take a look. My favorite one was the last one - very pretty.

Thanks for stopping by and will catch up with ya'll again real soon....
