However, I had heard vaguely somewhere that there was also one on White Spar over the Granite Creek crossing. I'm waiting for Linda to confirm. In the meantime, you should take a look at her old postcards. Her husband has a collection that she is scanning.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-26269099441273705892009-02-07T21:43:00.000-07:002009-02-07T21:43:00.000-07:00Wow!

I've got a few other categories that I'll put up in due time. Your covered bridge was wonderful & a surprise. Now, a question: what was the reason for covered bridges???? Wasn't there one on the White Spar where it crosses Granite Creek?Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-60149229111226259352009-02-07T13:14:00.000-07:002009-02-07T13:14:00.000-07:00Fun stuff, GJ!
