Oregon has more covered bridges than any other western state, a point of pride for The Covered Bridge Society of Oregon. However, a century or so ago, the State went absolutely bananas for the things, building six hundred of them between 1905 and 1925. Now, let's face it, there is enough water in the state to support six hundred thousand covered bridges. But when you hear a number like that, you can only imagine a long chain of unfortunate buggy drivers and early adopters of the newfangled horseless carriage, all forced to slalom down the entire length of a river, crossing one covered bridge after another. Today, the number of these structures still in place is a considerably smaller and less eyebrow-twisting total of fifty-one. The bridge you see here is the longest of all of them, at a full one hundred sixty-five feet across. Built for the then whopping sum of thirteen thousand dollars and change, it fell into disrepair until the county coughed up the less than quaint sum of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars to set things aright. It was re-dedicated in 1987, and has been serving the good people of Lane County (and any photographer who lays eyes on it) ever since. http://www.covered-bridges.org/bridges.htm
Enchanting hike along the McKenzie River to Sahalie and Koosah Falls through a primitive forest. Breathtaking.
