On Monday July 19, 2021, I left on my first trip since the summer of 2019 when I visited Connecticut, Rhode Island and parts along way.
This trip , however, was different. Still in the Harley, of course, it was a short but meaningful excursion to explore the covered bridges of Indiana.
My quest actually began two weeks earlier when I visited four covered bridges stretching from DeKalb County to Carroll County, Indiana. Unfortunately, none the videos that I shot along the way were useable (I’m just learning). So after another week of planning I began anew.
This time I would begin in western Indiana at the heart of Indiana’s covered bridges – Parke County. Indiana has 92 covered bridges (reports vary from 91-94), but 32 of these are located in Parke County alone (with another 19 in five of the six adjacent counties.
I camped out at Turkey Run State Park, and due to my late start (12 noon – lawn mower problems) I was unable to have the time to explore any covered bridges on Monday.
Tuesday was a better day, and I was able to visit some nine covered bridges. The first bridge was the Narrows Covered Bridge and I have attached a short video to let that do the talking. My hope is that you’ll stay with me through the course; there are more videos to come and (in my view) the second one is a considerable improvement.
