The old 1878 Stonelick Covered bridge, the last surviving covered bridge in Clermont County, Ohio, had collapsed during renovation efforts in February, after being closed since 2010.
This is the old structure before its collapse:
Today I rode my scooter up to the recently re-opened and freshly renovated "new" old Stonelick bridge and it is a beauty!
Riding through its shadowed tunnel, tires gliding over smooth sweet smelling lumber was a "scooter high"!
Afterward I enjoyed a few hours of further adventure scooting through some of the county's lush green back roads in Stonelick Township.

ReplyDeleteI live to BE out in the country every chance I get!
DeleteYes, good for the soul!
We dont have any pretty covered bridges here and I wish we did!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to live alongside the ocean like you do! I can't imagine what a thrill it is to ride there!
DeleteWith all of the hundreds of billions of dollars we spend on Interstates, finally some funds expended on a beautiful old covered bridge. Obviously, there is a bit of sanity and wisdom in Ohio!
ReplyDeleteSome.
DeleteBut still a lot of neglected bridges and roads here too.
Hooray for restored/rebuilt covered bridges. Thanks for sharing. You know me, I love covered bridges.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and you guys have some beautiful ones!
DeleteWe have many more in the next county over so I am hoping to post some rides over there eventually.
