On my way home yesterday I remembered an old historic covered bridge that was not far from where I would be traveling, so I decided to stop and take some pics. The sun was right behind the bridge, so they turned out a bit dark, but after playing around with the pic I came up with this.

 

Goose...if you're gonna be here in June...let me know and we'll plan to get together. Would love to meet another fellow forum member for sure.

SandyBeach...it is an awesome view from there...it's even better and much more scary from Mt Evans though.

 

Great pic Doug! Where is that bridge?

 

Really nice shot,especially using the sepia tone.Gives it the old time look that equals the old time looking cars we drive.

 

The bridge is in Monroe county, just west of Paris Mo. It was built in 1871 and is one of only 4 left of its type. Very cool.

Also below the bridge is a great fishing spot.

 

I love what you did with the photo, making it look aged. The HHR fits right in. Where was this bridge located? I didn't know there were any in Missouri.

 

Actually there are 4 historic covered bridges in Missouri, but none are very well known. Here is a website about the Union Covered Bridge with links at the bottom of the page to the other Missouri historic bridges.

Thought it looked familiar! Very cool bridge and beautiful area.

 

I've been to the Mastedon park and museum many years ago in Imperial but didn't know there was a covered bridge nearby. That's how I knew the correct spelling of mastedon on the show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" I'll have to go see it the next time I head home for a visit.
