Hi Folks
      On September 22, we visited the Thetford Center, Union Village, Moxely, Flint, Larkin, Mill Tunbridge, Howe, Cilley, Gifford, Braley, Kingsbury, Cornish-Windsor, Blacksmith Shop, and Dingleton Hill bridges. The last bridge is the Martinsville, which we visited in Vermont on the 23rd.(The photos of the Thetford Center and the Union Village bridges were included in Ultimate Covered Bridge Tour 8.)
      The Flint, Larkin, Mill, Cilley and Howe are all in the town of Tunbridge, Vermont. There was a low budget movie a couple of years ago that took place in Tunbridge. It was about an affluent couple who moved to Tunbridge and hired a local handyman. There were some nice pictures of a couple of the covered bridges in the movie. Sorry, I don't remember the name of the movie.
      I took the second picture of Gifford, with Liz. The Kingsbury, or Hyde, bridge was the subject of a lively discussion on this website recently. The consensus of opinion is that this is the bridge in "The Trouble with Harry", an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
      The Cornish, New Hampshire-Windsor, Vermont bridge, at nearly 450 feet long, is the longest remaining wooden covered bridge in the USA and longest two-span covered bridge in the world. However, Ashtabula County, Ohio, is planning a 600 ft. covered bridge.
      A 1934 US Supreme Court decision ruled that the Connecticut river was owned by New Hampshire up to the low water mark on the Vermont side of the river. This means that Vermont is only responsible for 6 feet of the Cornish-Windsor bridge (and all other bridges across the river between the two states). Cornish-Windsor, Blacksmith Shop, and Dingleton Hill bridges in New Hampshire were all built by James Tasker of Cornish, NH. The Blacksmith Shop Bridge is now open to pedestrians only
