The Bridges of Sullivan County

Okay, really just one bridge, but it is very neat. Sullivan County, Pennsylvania is home to three historic covered bridges. Two of the three were heavily damaged last year during a flood. This is the Sonestown Bridge, which I pass by everyday on my way to the Sullivan County Courthouse in Laporte, Pennsylvania, one of the smallest county seats in the entire country with about 300 people.

A few miles from Laporte, there is also a scenic overlook. The photos I took don't do the view justice, but I did the best I could.

I plan a trip to Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania sometime this week to take some photos of the beautiful old lumber baron mansions and the lake. Eagles Mere was founded as a luxury resort for the crème de la crème back in the mid-19th century and has basically remained such to this day.
