Patrick Owens Bridge, WGN 55-12-05

Patrick Owens Bridge.

Hi Folks
On Tuesday, September 22, we left Woodstock for Sussex, New Brunswick, where we had a reservation for five nights at the Fairway Inn. I picked Sussex because it is close to Fundy National Park and is about the center of Kings County, which has the most, 16, covered bridges of all New Brunswick counties.
      We stopped to see the Patrick Owens bridge in Rusagonis, Sunbury County on the way. I have attached two photos, one showing the open lattice side and one of the portal.
      We exited Route 2 at exit 365 and there were signs leading us to the Covered Bridge Information Centre. I have attached two photos. One of the Centre and one of their sign. The Centre has a large assortment of brochures, including an excellent Sussex Regional map, showing 25 covered bridges. We have been using the New Brunswick Travel Guide and Dale Travis website for directions.
      The Starkey bridge was only a short detour from our route to our motel in Sussex. After checking in at the motel, we went off to see nearby covered bridges: Tranton, Salmon, Oldfield and Plumsweep. I have attached two photos of Oldfield, showing both portals, one with Liz.
