The Keating's Ultimate Covered Bridge Tour
Part 8

Hi Folks
      On September 20, we saw one more bridge, the Lord's Creek Bridge, a private bridge in Irasburg. It is a rare Paddleford truss bridge. I liked its open latticework.
      A noted Northeast Kingdom author, Howard Frank Mosher, lives in Irasburg. Upon returning from our trip, I went to the library and borrowed one of his books, "North Country: A Personal Journey." It is about his trip from Maine to Washington state along the US-Canada border. I enjoyed it and recommend it.
      On September 21 we visited Maple St., Poland, Brown's River, Scott, Church, Mill/Lumbermill, Montgomery, Morgan, Union Village and Thetford Center bridges.
      There are two pictures of the Poland, because Liz liked the 135-foot arch. The Brown's River Bridge has been bypassed and is well taken care of--note the flowers in the foreground. The second picture of the Morgan Bridge shows me looking downstream.
      Thetford Center Bridge has a crack in a roof timber about halfway in.
