Hijacking the thread slightly have to ask - why did they build a covered bridge rather than just an ordinary one? I'm guessing they are relatively common in the US judging by these photos but not something I've ever come across.

… and to keep the game going, bike with a sidecar:

Covered bridges are quite common in the East. Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. etc. :thumbup:

Is it for wind protection, wind is often channelled down rivers etc so I suppose you could need more cover there?

Or is it that one town did it and then other neighbouring ones followed, a sort of civic "keeping up with the joneses"?

I was thinking just snow or rain protection didn't make sense because why do the bridge but not the road​

Wooden bridges in eastern us and canada need protection, in our climate, from rain and snow. If they are not covered they will rot in a short time. That was the technology of the late 19 century.

A Google search turned up numerous reasons for a covered bridge. Here is the first and the link where it is found:

A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof and siding which, in most coveredbridges
, create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to protect the wooden structural members from the weather.

rules refresher

Not that it is a big deal or has any bearing on life, just thought a little refresher of the original poster's rules (with enhancements) might help keep this thread moving as intended. After all, it's easy to lose direction after 8 pages.

Now to try out something a bit different.

One person posts a photo,

then another person posts a photo based on a association they see with the first...

your post should be in response to the post directly above yours and contain a Spyder, motorbike or associated gear.

Put a couple of words at the top to make the association clear (particularly if its something small like a sticker) .

Obviously just having an association of 'Spyder' is cheating​
