A Little Bit of This and That
I believe this is a horse-drawn plow. The White Rock Forge Covered Bridge Right next door is … You can’t make this stuff up. I wonder what the origin of the name is. Does the groundhog sleep in on February 2? Amish schoolhouse a really cool looking small shed I loved the shrub in front of this home. -
Fall in Valley Forge
Although it seems that fall color was late to arrive and short lived, Valley Forge National Historical Park has non the less supplied some nice views. Here is a sampling from a recent visit.
Knox Covered Bridge, Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. 
Another view of the Knox Covered Bridge. 
View of General Knox’s Quarters from the Philander C. Knox Estate. 
Recently baled hay near the Knox estate. 
Historic pony truss bridge on Wilson Road over Valley Creek. 
Lafayette’s Headquarters, later used as a farmhouse and inn. Interesting to see three sections from different time periods.

The Bridges of Columbia County
Pennsylvania has 219 covered bridges, the most of any state in the US. The bridges were covered to protect the wooden structural supports and allow them to last longer. The also provided shelter for pedestrians and vehicles in bad weather. Columbia County has one of the largest concentrations of covered bridges in Pennsylvania. I photographed some of them on a recent trip.
The Rupert covered bridge. I like the juxtaposition of the train line and the old covered bridge. 
A marked bike trail crosses the bridge. 
I love the bridges with windows.
