A Few Oregon Covered Bridges (1)

 Yesterday, I went on a group tour of just a few of some 17 covered bridges located in and around Cottage Grove, Oregon, the "Covered Bridge Capital of Oregon."  Below are just a few of the bridges in the area.  I am hoping that maybe sometime next year I will return and see the rest of them, most of which are on a 30-mile "scenic byway."   This is one of two posts of the bridges from the area.  I used two cameras and will post two sets of somewhat similar photos based on the cameras I used.
