Covered Bridges


It's a beautiful day in northwestern Ohio. Today Gene and I drove over to Jefferson, OH. This is the county seat of Ashtabula County. We love picturesque towns and this one did not disappoint us.


We had a delicious lunch at "The Deli in the Rye" located at 35 S. Chestnut St. Their potato salad, slaw, pies, etc. are all made from scratch and you can really tell the difference.


We walked around the square taking pictures of the old courthouse and some other interesting looking buildings and a gazebo. Gene will be loading these pictures into his Picasa web page.



We then traveled down some rural two lane highways to see covered bridges. One of the advantages of a Roadtrek is that we can drive it down lovely country roads. There are 17 covered bridges in Ashtabula County dating back to the 1850's. We only had time to see 3 before we needed to head back.


We will strike out tomorrow to New York. I probably won't have WiFi for a couple days, so you'll hear from me again as soon as I'm connected

Great to be able to track your movements ('cos you do move about a bit) and armchair travel along with you both.

When I spoke with Gene today on his birthday you were in Bennington Vermont. I won't spoil where you were for your other avid followers.

Can't wait to see more photos on the Picasa site - find the muskrat is a game for all ages.

Glenna - you should drive more: working your way down from 4 lanes to 2 - soon you'll be ready for 1-way streets :).

Travel safe!
