Spent a couple of days in the Eastern Townships of Quebec during this past Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend. The weatherman was most uncooperative. In fact, I was getting soaking wet while taking the first photo. That said, the trip had its moments. Here are the images of three covered bridges of the region. Of these three, built in 1893, 1868 and 1873 respectively, only the last one is still in use.
Nice assortment of bridges that are terribly misunderstood. Most people mistakenly think the cover was for the protection of those using the bridge. The bridges were covered to protect the bridge! Keep in mind that bridges are relatively new to history since the advent of the automobile. Tressles and viaducts have been around for centuries, but not bridges.

Beautiful set, John! Do you ever get up to St. Jovite and Lac Quimet? During our visits to Gray Rocks we liked that area.
