    Let it snow!❄☃❄Wow, visiting covered bridges today! Schoolhouse Covered Bridge is really cute. Chamberlin Covered Bridge is pretty big and looks like cars still use it? The Miller's Run Covered Bridge is still used too! Sanborn Covered Bridge is just for walking on. It was moved? Wow. It was sure pretty with the snow coming down. Randall Covered Bridge is really cute too. That one you can only walk on. It looked like it was in a snow globe! Cute letting the drone land on the deck! Thanks for this Ken and Lauren.

    As a kid in the 1960s we used to drive by School House Bridge on our was to our cabin not far from Center Pond. I last walked across the bridge in 2009 with my sister and her husband that used to live right behind the American Legion just outside of town. They had the big greenhouses. Brings back good memories, thanks.

    Glad your drone didn't lose signal🛰 while going through the Schoolhouse Bridge 🌉 The Randall Bridge made a nice hanger for your drone😊We have quite a few Covered bridges here in central Pa .... some that are still active. I had one in Union County that was active for most of my youth, and teen years. It was well within walking distance from my aunt/uncle and grandparents' cabins. Spent years fishing from it, or just walking through on our many walks. It was taken out by hurricane Agnes in the early 70's. It was later rebuilt, only to be damaged by another flood (put a big bow in it). That too was repaired, and now it is only crossed by foot/bicycle traffic. Most of my aunts and uncles .... and of course my grandparents have now passed, but that bridge is an enduring memory of them and my life. I can only hope we keep these treasures alive, for there are so many things that have almost no redeeming value that this country spends it's money on. Thanks for the vid .... take care fellow travelers Ken and daughter Lauren ✌🏻👣

    Beautiful. I spend a lot of time in North Bennington VT. The Henry Bridge, Silk Road bridge and Paper Mill bridge are still used. All over the Walloomsac River. Vermont. Ya gotta love it. Thank you.

    Covered bridges are to me an interesting piece of history. Here in Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada there is one covered bridge still in limited use. The "Kissing Bridge" in West Montrose. A number of other steel bridges over the same Grand River are closed and barricaded.

    This makes me so homesick for VT. We moved away 6 years ago and are now planning to move back home within the year. I love and miss the beauty and peace of new falling snow. I can't wait to be back. Beautiful video!

    Ohhh the snow makes things so much more beautiful. Covered bridges are so fascinating how they can stand the test of time far better than the modern day bridges, the one bridge is almost 158 years old. Thanks for sharing Ken and daughter 😊 👍👍🕊

    It is amazing how these beautiful bridged survived all these years without rotting away and are preserved today mostly as walking bridges, yet a few are still sturdy to hold the heavy cars of today. Thanks, Ken, for making this series of videos, I look forward to everyone!

    Spectacular! My first time here. The algorithm probably sent you to me because I look at the mad river valley covered bridge a couple times a week along with many Vermont tours. I will see every one of your videos in short order and dream. I want to live there. I'm going to live there someway, somehow. I am I am. Thanks. See ya when I get there. 😊 Do you attend the Warren 4th of July parade?

    Good morning Ken. It's amazing on how much just a coating of snow can transform the landscape. I hope the state of Vermont keeps giving the TLC these covered bridges need and deserve. They are beautiful. Thanks for the video.

    Thanks Ken, I really enjoy watching your scenic journeys around Vermont. What a stunningly beautiful area. I always wondered why they used to cover these bridges, but now you have given us a good explanation. Greetings from Adelaide, Australia.

    Love your TH-cam production!
    My family moved to Vermont in 1959 lived in Saint Johnsbury, Dad worked at VTD as Chief Engineer and Sales Manager…
    Loved see the Covered Bridge again.
    Could you include the names of the Rivers and Streams each Bridge spanned?

    As a covered bridge buff, I appreciate these structures beyond just the visual appeal, but also the physics in their design.
    As a carpenter, have you ever studied these structures and considered building a small version?
    Nice video Ken!

    Hmmm! I always heard the covered bridges were to help keep horses from being spooked! Maybe or maybe not? Nice country there in Vermont! Would like to visit! Are the highways crowded with tourists in the summer? I hate going places where it's so crowded!

    • @kensscenicjourneys7190

      Northeastern Vermont is less crowded but each year seems to be getting busier

    When I was taking pictures for Google Earth I got photos of all the covered bridges in Lynden
    I got pictures of two hundred Vermont covered bridges. More than that in NewHampshire.
    I now have over 100 here in Ohio.

  • @glennyork6800
    @glennyork6800 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So beautiful & peaceful. None of covered bridges in my state have a walkway for pedestrians added, find it so neat for you guys. One place that I love in my state is you drive on a paved state hwy with a creek running thru it. PS, Last covered bridge in my area closed to traffic as trucks kept even taking down overhead protecting steel bars & still managing to damage the bridge. Some people still can't read or know the height of their trucks it seems.

    Ken did your Lauren stop for hot chocolate wile filming Miller's Run bridge (no doughnuts)
    Your brother's TH-cam channel "Covered Bridge Accidents" is amusing.

    • @kensscenicjourneys7190
      @kensscenicjourneys7190  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      She did but no doughnut. My brother’s channel catches a lot of mishaps at miller’s run bridge

    Yes, covered bridges are a huge draw to our area for tourists as much as the Amish. I really liked the walkway built into the bridge. Very, very nice.

    The snow looks beautiful but keep it up there in VT. I dont want it down here in Alabama. Do you want the 6 ft of snow that Buffalo NY has now.
