Gilkey Covered Bridge

 


 

The Gilkey Covered Bridge was built in 1939.  It is on a rather busy road.  We had some trouble with the soft mud on the shoulder where we ended up parking our bikes for the photo.  I had fun flinging mud at Carl from my rear tire as we pulled away.

 

 


 

An open-sided bridge this is!

The Hoffman Covered Bridge was built in 1936 across Crabtree Creek.

Most of the covered bridges in Linn County have this open side design.


 

Vandalism must be a problem.
