Medora Covered Bridge

Posted August 21, 2007, by james mccray (jamesinslocomb [at] yahoo [dot] com)

Visited this bridge on 18 Aug, 2007 and it has a new roof. The pictures show the bridge with the new roof. Also my friends Bob, Mark, and John were with me. It was the first time John has ever seen a covered bridge.
