Photo of the Day: Covered Bridge, Laurel Hill Creek, PA

Over the years, I’ve come to associate covered bridges indelibly with Vermont. I’m not that far off—with just over 100, it has the most per square mile in the U.S.

But the state with the most total covered bridges is Pennsylvania, with 213, according to the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges. While on vacation in October, I encountered one of these, heading east from Pittsburgh, in Somerset County, spanning Laurel Hill Creek. Before my companions and I drove over the bridge, I got out and took this picture.
