One of the stops we made this summer was in Lowell, Mi. There is a covered bridge there, it was featured in my wall calendar for the year. And seeing that all of the other bridges were in other states, and this one was pretty close and on our route to camping, I had to see it. TM obliged and we made the stop, I think he enjoyed it more than I did, and that was a lot.

| Fallasburg Covered Bridge |
My wall calendar for the year show 12 different covered bridges from around the country. I have spent quite a bit of time looking at them online as well.
 |
| Sign: $5 fine for going faster than a walk |
The sign is awesome! Of course, there was no one around to collect the fines, but hey. They should put a little bucket out and let people pay using the honest person's merit system. I bet this is beautiful during the autumn.
 |
| It is a historic site |
Lots of interesting information was offered throughout the little historic district where the bridge leads.

| Better view of the river. Where are the kayaks when you want them? |

| Inside the covered bridge |
Have you ever walked on a covered bridge? It just feels old and historic, it's a nice feeling. Try it.
 |
| The architecture is amazing |
The structures are fascinating when you think about how long they have been standing, it's had some work done on it, but the design is the same.
 |
| Yes, I'm still in the car. |
 |
| The old school. Note the outhouse. |
Imagine back in the day when little Susie or Bobby had to use the rest room during arithmetic lessons. On with boots and heavy coats and out to the out house they went. Brrrrrr. Sounds a bit chilly doesn't it?
 |
| Farm machinery? |
Love this picture. It just makes me smile. Something about old farms and machinery.
 |
| The Farm |
Again, this is just a wonderful picture. Grab a blanket, a book and a glass of whatever you like to sip on and hang out under the tree for a while.
