Where is that bridge?

I was asked about the bridge in my last posting so here is a little information about it.  From Wikipedia:

The Smolen–Gulf Bridge is a covered bridge which carries State Road (Ashtabula County Road 25) across the Ashtabula River and the Plymouth and Ashtabula Township line in northern Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. At 613 feet (182.9 meters), it is the longest covered bridge in the United States – a title formerly held by the Cornish–Windsor Covered Bridge in New Hampshire – and the fourth longest covered bridge in the world.[3] The bridge, one of 16 drivable covered bridges in the county, was designed by John Smolen, former Ashtabula County Engineer when the idea of bridging the Ashtabula River Gulf with a wooden structure was first conceived in 1995.

Here is a link to its location:

A great destination on such a beautiful weekend!  Happy riding!

We pray that you will have a very blessed Easter this year!  Remember to take some time and thank our Savior for all that he has done, and continues to do, for us.
