PA Covered Bridges

Stop and smell the roses, and while you're at it take a picture or two.

PA Covered Bridges

A ride thru some covered bridges in Lancaster Co. -- about half of my list. I've included the names if you want to google and visit them yourself. Also, there is a track file for GPS here: http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/road/9860756/

Great video again, Andy! I really liked the pace and the way they faded to the next bridge. And they all had such great floors. I dropped my RS in a covered bridge down in VA just off 81, even after reading the sign that warned motorcyclists to stay in the center and avoid the raised planks on either side for car tires. Got a little too close to one of the planks. :emb: Luckily, a pair of local deputies were taking the scenic route home and got me righted and on my way in a hurry.

Looking forward to Part 2!

Not sure how I did not see this before...nice video! I really like the transition between scenes. Obvious but smooth. :D

Thanks Maria. Guess I should get a part II done soon. Wanna go? ( BTW, that's me: "obvious but smooth" :lol: )

I'm up for it, always. As long as the schedule cooperates. Drop a note.

Thank you, Rick!
...and thank you for that amazing story that inspired Red Barchetta. That band, and that song are a part of my life, man. =D>
