Rurality Wednesday - Link's Farm Covered Bridge

(click on photo to enlarge)

Just down the road from Mountain Lake Lodge sits this covered bridge. Built in 1912 by Samuel Bradley to cross Sinking Creek. It was then called Bradley Bridge. It is on private proptery belonging to James Link Jr., Samuel Bradley's grandson. I love that it is still in the family! We were careful to observe the "Private Property No Trespassing" sign. Another car pulled in the same time as us. While the Mr. was setting up his camera gear to photograph the bridge, the little Mrs. hopped right over and walked along the creek smoking a cigarette. Some people!

You can see more photos of the bridge HERE

  1. It's a bright and terrific example of a covered bridge; I've never been on or near one of these.

  5. Was watching a documentary on the history of slavery on PBS last night and thought of you as much of it was shot in your area -- this is a gorgeous bridge. Imagine having it on your property to enjoy every day.

  15. THAT is so cool and so lovely... I would be sorely tempted to get closer myself, but I always try to respect other people's property, especially when it is posted to keep out, you never know when it could be backed up by a shotgun! Thank you for coming by to share on Rurality Blog Hop #37!

  18. It's so pretty. I think they look especially pretty at this time of year. We live near a beach that allows dogs and you wouldn't believe how the owners behave. They are loud calling their dogs or on their cell phones and they even leave little bags of dog poop right on the beach even though they have to walk past a trash bag on the way out. I'm amazed at the rudeness of people.
