New England Covered Bridges

For as long as we both can remember, we have wanted to tour the new England states in Autumn, and this year, (after 37 years of talking about it), we did. We've actually been back east on vacation eight different times to various cities and/or states, but never before in Autumn. It was magnificent.

 

And we nailed it too. We hit the peak season of 10/1 to 10/10 head on with virtually every road, route, highway, byway, and interstate that we traveled. (Approximately 1400 miles). We decided not to travel up into Canada or Maine, as peak season had already passed in those regions.

 

Flying into Hartford, we then traveled to Vermont, and worked our way down through New Hampshire, Conn., and Mass. 

 

Vermont and New Hampshire yielded the most covered bridges, which was an item on our agenda to accomplish while we were leaf peeping.  Overall, Vermont was the best state of all, and if you only have time to do one state, that is the one to do. 

 

Here is a baker's dozen sample of some of my pics from just around the covered bridge areas. There is not much foliage showing in these pics, but I've got 3 more upcoming blogs covering various subjects, and some of my other favorite pics will show up in those blogs.

 

And of course, the most beautiful woman in the world to me, rounds out the end of this baker's dozen :-).
