"This set took a long time to complete from my original tour in 2003.  I just couldn’t do the bridges justice.  Worn, weathered wood was my hang-up. Then there was the problem of Windsor Mills.  My photo was of the bridge during restoration torn down to the roadbed.  Fran solved the Windsor Mills problem. She drove out to the bridge in 20 degree weather and took 25 photos—including all the Christmas decorations.  It turns out each bridge gets white lights, garland, wreath and red bows for the season.  Hours of trials and stitchouts solved the wood problem. Covered bridges served a valuable purpose.  Snow pack would collapse a bridge without the protection of a steeply pitched roof.  It was the bridge that enabled travel across rivers year around. You can enjoy Ashtabula County Covered Bridge Festival the second full weekend in October.  The number on the bridge name is the tour number assigned to each bridge."  Enjoy, Elaine
