While crossing a covered bridge, it’s a tradition to hold your breath and make a wish.
I Love all this about this area with covered bridges. Thanks so much Steve.
Hi Steve, enjoying your games and trivia a lot. checking out the hole web site.
Covered bridges were great even though the trip didn’t go as planned on some of the days. I still enjoyed it. THANKS for the cool things to see.
