- Monday, April 25, 2022, Casey Hull invited us to bring the Ole trucks up to his burn, salvage, clean up job up the McKenzie River Valley of the Cascade Mt Range near Vida, Oregon. From our shop that morning to his landing was 68 miles. He saved some big logs and I got to haul a three log load with the Ole 58 Kenworth across the historic Goodpasture Covered Bridge that crosses the McKenzie River. We had a good time and most of all our Dad was with us, too. We had lots of fun, got lots videos and great pictures. Thanks, Casey for organizing this great day.
I found the following information about the Bridge on Wikipedia. "The Goodpasture Bridge was designed by the Oregon State Highway Department (now the Oregon Department of Transportation) and was built by Lane County. A.C. Striker was the county bridge superintendent at the time of its construction. It was built to allow local families and commercial logging trucks to cross the McKenzie River.
The Goodpasture Bridge is a classic covered bridge in design. The deck is 17.7 feet (5.4 m) wide with a vertical clearance of 15.3 feet (4.7 m). The bridge's two foundation tiers were concrete. Its wooden floor planks and shingled roof were intact, as is the weatherboard housing that protects the Howe truss infrastructure from the weather.
Most of Oregon's covered bridges, including the Goodpasture Bridge, were built using the Howe truss system, developed in 1840 by the Massachusetts architect William Howe. The system uses heavy timbers reinforced with iron or steel rods. The trusses have central beams and crossed timbers with adjustable, vertical iron rods to support the structural load.[14]
The Goodpasture Bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in the state of Oregon. The bridge's architectural detailing includes false end beams, semi-elliptical portals, and ten Gothic style louvered windows on each side. The windows were built to allow light into the long covered structure so drivers could see oncoming traffic. During the Christmas season, the bridge is hung with decorations, attracting many winter visitors...."
Lily, Brother Casey and I all shot this short video using the video function on our Mac iPhones. We all air dropped our separate videos to my laptop and edited them and edited them together using iMovie on my MacBook Air laptop computer. As always please enjoy, "SMASH" that "like button" and keep checking back for more movie uploads. Be safe and "Keep on Trucking".
Beep Beep,
