Hi Folks
On September 20, we spent the day visiting covered bridges in Maine.
We visited Sunday River, Bennett, Lovejoy, Hemlock and Babb bridges.
On our way to Maine, we stopped at a NH Welcome Center. The fellow manning the Center was Helpful and friendly. He gave us a "Covered Bridges of the White Mountains" pamphlet. As it turned out, we had already seen all of the bridges listed. I am going to donate the pamphlet to our local library.
The Hemlock Bridge and one of the Sunday River Bridge pictures are by me, the rest are by Liz.
We took a scenic, circular route, starting at Sunday River, and ending at the Babb Bridge. We returned to our motel in North Conway.
