I was looking through old pictures of my kids and found these. Did you ever see the movie "The Bridges of Madison County"? Well, here are two of those covered bridges.
Holliwell Bridge, built 1880.
Imes Bridge, built 1870.
6 of the original 19 bridges remain. These are near Winterset, Iowa, the tiny town where John Wayne was born. (Or, for you quilters out there, the town where Fons and Porter have their store.)
PS- Update- I found this site online that maps all the authentic covered bridges in the USA and Canada. Take a look!

Wonderful shots! Every year we go to the Covered Bridge Festival in Indiana. There are about 30 bridges to see, and a big festival in 3 towns. Lots of fun!
Happy REDnesday!

Love this covered bridge. The red roof just makes it more spectacular.

We made a little side trip to make sure we got to see these two also, several years ago. I was tickled to think that Meryl and Clint were actually standing at the same spot I did! My DH thought it was a bit nutty, but oh well! Thanks for sharing and bringing back a few memories! Sandi
Ahhh...one of my most favorite of all movies! Love the covered bridges....they always seem to hold a story or 2:)
How pretty. I've never seen a covered bridge in "real life". They are so cool.
Awesome photos! I recall a few of those bridges in NE Georgia many years ago. Always a treat to see.
Wonderful photos. I saw the movie years ago, so SUPERromantic, with SUPER stars. I never thought that thoses bridges were real and that there are more covered bridges. Thanks
I read a book about one of these. It is amazing that some are still standing. Good photos to keep.
Very pretty. We have covered bridges in Pennsylvania but they don't get much press.
Beautiful photos. What a treat to see. We don't have covered bridges in Montana! Have a great day....Denise
Our covered bridges are all in New Brunswick. We took a trip one summer just to see them all - fun!
I remember that move - it was a winner - one of those that could be watched over and over.
I surely did see that romantic movie! I adore covered bridges too.

I've heard of people taking a driving tour of covered bridges and think that sounds like a worthwhile trip if only for the photo ops!
