I agree about the graffiti. The older signatures are less offensive over here partly because they are usually carved into stone and the great care has obviously been taken to make the lettering look good. There's pride and self respect in the project. Modern scrawls in marker pen or whatever just looks scruffy - they're there to be in your face and tell you how little the writer cares about your opinion, I suspect. "I'm a disrespecting scruff, and proud of it." Well, freedom of speech - and so on.Briarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242731014996459484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-56224332756248755162013-12-03T01:35:52.752-05:002013-12-03T01:35:52.752-05:00I love covered bridges.

A friend and I toured three counties of covered bridges one fall during a trip to Pennsylvania -- Ashtabula County in Ohio, and Washington and Somerset Counties (where Flight 93 crashed in 2011) in PA. Only about three dozen bridges. We weren't able to get to all of those in Washington Cty, and missed the few in nearby Greene Cty. Would love to do that again, now that I have a better camera.
