    Jackson Sawmill Covered Bridge (1878)

    Georgetown/Oxford, Chester County [38-36-33]

    Daddy PROMISED this would be our last bridge FOREVER!

    Especially because it really smells of cow poop,,,

    and all I can hear is mooing!

    Daddy says they are just hungry… Just like our cat, Joy, when she is hungry…

    I told him to stand over there… Move this was… NO THE OTHER WAY!

    STOP!

    Right there!

    Click… Click… Click….

    My turn!

    Move this was…

    Right there!

    Click… Click… Click….

    All done!

    We then got back in the car, and drove to pick up my brother at daycare.

    It was a fun day, in a weird way…

    and then the next day, Daddy showed me this picture!

    How he do that?

    10/18/2012 – Notes from a talk given at the Citadel Credit Union about the Covered Bridges of the Oxford area.

    After my presentation, I met many folks and one of those folks was Randy Teel of RNJ Plaques & Engravings, who had a story about Pine Grove bridge from 1973.

    He told me, that he and a friend were driving home, and as they approached the bridge, they noticed some flames inside the bridge, and as they got closer, it was burning oil rags.

    Because there were no cell phones, they had no way to quickly contact any additional help, but were able to use the available 10 gal “Indian” water tanks to put out the fire, then driving on to find a phone to report the incident to the police.

    Randy and his friend, continued to drive home, and found another small fire on  Bell Bank Bridge, and were able to put this fire out, but decided not to report it, because it might not look very good.

  • White Rock Forge Covered Bridge (1849)

    White Rock Forge Covered Bridge (1849)

    Kirkwood, Lancaster County [38-36-18]

    After stopping at Wawa to get something to drink and eat, we got into the car, and started to drive and drive and drive.

    At first we were going fast, because we were on the highway, but after a long time, we turned and turned on to smaller and smaller roads.

    Some times it smelled like poop. Yucky!

    Finally, we got there, this what I saw…

  • 2010 Great Pennsylvania Wine Toast (Black Walnut Winery)

    This started as a typical summer Saturday morning… What are we going to do…

    I happen to be on my Facebook wall, when I noticed that the “2010 Great Pennsylvania Wine Toast” was being held today!

    So I started to plot out the various Chester County wineries, and decided on trying the Black Walnut Winery in Sadsburyville.

    I called an old friend, Ben, to see what he was doing, and he agreed that it would be fun to join us.

    Madison, Logan and I got to Black Walnut Winery around 3pm, checked in, got some snacks and drinks and easily found a table near the front of the stage with some live music.

    Slowly more people arrived, and some started to dance…

    Don’t let this “thumbnail” image deceive.

    The original image is 8525 x 2849 pixels (or approximately 118 inches by 39 inches), and used three different images “stitched” together in a panorama!

    Thanks to all the Folks at Black Walnut for the GREAT time!
