Pisgah Covered Bridge

Yesterday we went in search for the Pisgah Covered Bridge.
 Leaving the campground first on graveled road then paved road,then we turned off on another graveled road.
 Passed several barns out in the country on the graveled roads. I mean way out in the country.
 You see what I mean way out in the country. These two mules came close to the fence when I stopped to take their picture.
 A couple of old houses along the way.
 We did find the covered bridge which was worth the trip.  They even have a nice short trail from one side of the bridge to the other side.
 Inside looks good from this distance but like always people want to carve and paint their names on things.
One of North Carolina's two remaining historic covered bridges. Built in 1911 at a cost of $40, the bridge is 54 feet in length and crosses the West Fork Branch of the Little River within the Uwharrie National Forest.
We had a very good adventuresome day.  Hope we can find some more things to see and do while we are in the area.
