Today we took a self guided tour of the various covered bridges of Ashtabula County, OH. We saw bridges with lattice work supports
and some with a curved-arch support.
Ellen also enjoys all of the various old barns we see in this farming land.
We ended up driving as far north as Lake Erie.
There was a wind generator for power at the harbor at Conneaut and very nice township park. Here we watched a bald eagle having a fish lunch high up in a tree. When he was done he just dropped the big fish head to the ground. (Look out below!)
We drove for about 20 miles along the lake until we arrived at the town of Ashtabula for an early dinner at Bob Evans, a restaurant we hadn’t tried before. They always look busy and the food was excellent.
We left there and took in the longest covered bridge in America, The Smolen-Gulf Bridge.
We watched an Amish carriage come through the bridge and head up a very steep hill. We were amazed that one horse could trudge up such a steep hill with a carriage and a family of five.
