Boxed Pony Bridge. This is not a covered bridge yet it was listed with all the covered bridges for the tour. I'll just post what the brochure said.
"This novel and unique bridge is the only one of its kind in Pennsylvania.
Used for foot traffic only, it has no roof. The entire truss structure is closed with vertical boards and battens. The truss is less than full height. The deck has open crosswise planking, and the entire structure rests on high stone and mortar abutments and has a cernter pier. It is 179 ft. 9 in. long and 14 ft. and 6 in. wide. The bridge crosses Tohickon Creek.

Another great series Sue. I used to kayak the Tohickon Creek every fall when they dumped Lake Nockamixon.

Hmm. One wonders what the designer had been drinking the night before he did this one... Still, it's attractive and unusual. Nice shots of it, Sue!
