Yesterday, my daughter and I went hunting for covered bridges near Shédiac in New Brunswick. There are still 61 covered bridges in New Brunswick, most of them built in the early 1900s.

Covered Bridge in New Brunswick near Shédiac

The picture above is the covered bridge over the Shédiac River near Shédiac. I actually drove around looking for that bridge last year but never was able to locate it. I found it this year by pure luck when I happen to turn my head and saw the tip of it from the road. This one is closed to circulation but you can walk across. I had to get into the river to take a picture. It was built in 1935 and is 84 feet long.

Covered bridge over the Cocagne river in New Brunswick

This one is over the Cocagne river in Poirier. It was built in 1942 and measures 136 feet.

Covered bridge on Victoria road over the Cocagne river

This one is also over the Cocagne river on Victoria Road near New Scotland. It was built in 1913 and measures 83 feet. We drove around in circles for a while before finding it and I had to stop and ask a local who was working on his tractor for directions. By the time we got to it, the sky was picture perfect!

The skies are clear again today and I'm researching other covered bridges to visit. Maybe I'll put a calendar together if I can find 12 of them while we're here.

I love covered bridges.  They always make me think of Bridges of Madison County. :)  These are really beautiful!   I also love the red background on your headshot. What a great way to standout!   Best of luck with your business.

Thanks Rebecca and thanks for stopping by. I love covered bridges, too. They make me think of a time long gone and I can just imagine people going across with their horse and buggy!
