LOL ..... sorry.

Covered Bridges Of Bennington County, Vermont



Crossing a covered bridge is like entering a portal of time,
transporting you back to the days of horse & buggy.
Vermont's covered bridges span time and progress,
linking more than just the opposite banks of a river or stream.

"What stories could these bridges tell
If they could only talk?
They'd tell us of the ones who rode
And those who had to walk,
The rich, the poor....those in-between
Who used their planks to cross,
The soldiers, farmers, businessmen
In buggies, sleighs, by "hoss",
Like sentinels these bridges stand
In spite of flood and fire,
Their rugged, stalwart strength remains
Our future to inspire."

Okay, okay...but it could have been Connecticut, as they have these old bridges too. Ah, Bennington, Vermont! I have driven through there many times in my youth, especially in the fall. The foiliage is incredible !!
Also home to Bennington College. The most expensive women's college(aw heck)...the most expensive college in the country PERIOD! Tis where rich liberals send their rich liberal daughters .
Vermont was a very conservative state when I was growing up. Now very liberal. This is where wealthy Bostonians built their second homes, and/or retired(1975-2005). I call them east coast carpetbaggers : ) But ya know what? They can't take the beauty away from Vermont, or Maine, and who knows, maybe some day liberals will go so far as to outlaw themselves!!
