Tom Skinner Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 I envy you New Yorkers (New Englanders) for those wonderful Covered Bridges. When we were kids my mom and dad would drive us upstate NY from East Orange NJ back in the 60's in a 1949 Shivrolay (as Don C.) would say, and we would stop at the old covered bridges. Our family camped out a lot and we camped out near Fort Ticonderoga NY, Lake Winnepesauga NH etc. I will always remember fondly riding in the back of that 49 Chevy the smell of the wool seats and dad's Chesterfield Cigarettes. The windows down the hum of the road always put us to sleep, when we woke we would be either at another Covered Bridge or Camp Site.... those were the Days. Nice Memory Picture - Thank You!

RobertKB Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Nice picture, Bob. Thanks for sharing. One word of advice though...........not sure if you were drinking or the bridge was falling over, but you need to try to keep things looking level. Then it would be a postcard picture. Quote
RobertKB Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Robert maybe he forgot a shoe? haha LOL:p Quote
1940plymouth Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Posted May 25, 2011 believe it or not, the bridge does lean, and oh by the way, I have a glass of v8 every morning:) Quote

1940plymouth Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 I had my niece make me a 5x7 copy of this photo, I framed it and took it over to the lady that owns the land that the bridge is on last evening. She was very pleased that I would do such a thing. Her husband passed away a number of years ago and always liked covered bridges, so when they built their house, he also built the covered bridge that goes over a small stream in their driveway Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 There are a lot of those in upstate New York. I went to look at one in a place called Blenheim, NY, one of the oldest of its kind. The National Park Service and the Dept. of Transportation worked together to document as many remaining covered bridges in the United States as they could. They also produced a manual for maintaining them without destroying their originality. Quote
1940plymouth Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Joe, Blenheim is less than two hours north of here. Here are a couple of covered bridges near Livingston Manor, NY which is located about 25 miles northwest of Neversink. Plus the one wife my wife standing in front of the covered bridge is located about five miles from our house on the way to Claryville, NY. It was taken out of service around 1965 Quote
