Description
View northeasterly, in the afternoon autumn sun, of the Barronvale Covered Bridge across Laurel Hill Creek in Middlecreek Township, Somerset County, PA. The bridge is said to have been built in the 1840's, using the Burr arch truss design, and is the longest covered bridge span in Somerset County. It is currently only open to foot traffic after being bypassed by adjacent State Route 3035. The Barronvale Covered Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Hi, Jerry. I really admire your work. I did find one covered bridge in Arizona - Pinedale (in Navajo County) about 200 miles north of Vail. Google Dale Travis covered bridges and you'll find more (not traditional as the one above, but interesting). - Mike
