I knew we were heading to a covered bridge but it was at the bottom of a steep hill around a sharp corner. Yes, it was very long.

Of course, being on a bike is different than a car where you are able to move over more. <br /><br />all I know is that Karen went first, and then I was fiddling with my camera and then I went. So perhaps she cleared the cars out of the wayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-20537198824713577372013-11-20T15:33:13.437-08:002013-11-20T15:33:13.437-08:00I like the video going through the covered bridge....I like the video going through the covered bridge.

It is a very nice road but better with a riding buddy. I felt a bit uneasy being by myself. It would have been a bit different if there had been more traffic that day.<br /><br />I am not sure but I did stop where a road goes West down a hill (I was heading South) but with no one around I didn't want to go down there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-24393020912989320622013-11-20T15:17:21.898-08:002013-11-20T15:17:21.898-08:00Ken:

We passed one but it was snowing fairly hard so we didn't want to go down the hill in the rental car and not be able to come back up as there were no other tire tracks in the snow. Lots of covered bridges in Oregon, click link to map above, but I have only seen a couple of them myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-41241363528127943332013-11-20T15:11:43.763-08:002013-11-20T15:11:43.763-08:00Coop:

I think I was close to a couple of others near Corvallis but I don't know which roads to take. The Aufderheide felt very isolated and it was getting late in the day for me with long shadows.<br /><br />I also spent a lot of time at the Dee Observatory on Hwy 242 that day. That road was too windy for me.

A very popular place for motorcycles on the weekends in the summer after the snow clears.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-26886931503510522022013-11-20T08:23:13.876-08:002013-11-20T08:23:13.876-08:00Nice vid!

I've been through a bunch of them around the country, but don't ever remember any as bright or as pretty on the inside.<br /><br />Iowa has 7 IIRC and my plan for the last few years has been to build a Helix ride around a visit to all of them. When the idea was still fresh, I had to rent the Eastwood/Streep film to see how Iowa built them.Coop a.k.a.

There were 6 when I was a kid. Larwood, the closest, I've featured several times on my blog. I've never done the Aufderheide. It's a destination ride for both motorcycles and bicycles. I bet it feels very isolated when by yourself. <br /><br />I love seeing the inner structure of the Oakridge bridge. It's quite lovely. I haven't watched the video yet, but man, that other covered bridge is loooonnnnnggg! Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.com
