Description
The Bridgeport Covered Bridge is one of the longest single-span covered bridges in the country. Built by David Ingerfield John Wood in 1862, the bridge stretches 230 feet across the swift-flowing South Fork of the Yuba River, and was part of the Virginia Turnpike Company Toll Road that once served the Northern Mines and Nevada’s Comstock Lode. The bridge was constructed with native lumber from Woods’ mill in Plum Valley, in nearby Sierra County. The exterior of the bridge was finished with wood shingles.

I had to look this up on the map. I thought I had seen or at least heard of all the best spots in norther CA. How I missed this is still a mystery. I guess I'll have to plan a trip that way. Its really gorgeous. At least, your photo shows it as being that way. :-)
