What makes this bridge unique is that it’s in a private campground. To access it, I drove to the campground and stopped at the little gatehouse. I explained to the woman that I just wanted to take photos of the bridge. She was very nice. She gave me a map and a tag for my car and off I went.
The guide says the bridge is named after Jim Cummings, “whose property it served”. Is this another case of a bridge built for a single person or family? The farm where Jim lived was called Turkey Jim’s Turkey Farm.
In 1964, flood water washed the bridge downstream. I’m guessing that somehow it remained intact because the history says it “was retrieved and set back on its abutments”. It is now only used by pedestrians and snowmobiles.
NH looks like a wonderful State! Thanks for helping me explore it!
It was my pleasure. Thank you.
Nice 👌
Thank you, Dulcy.
What a lovely setting the bridge is in!
It is a pretty nice spot. And the campground was really nice to let me have access.
Yes, it was nice of them!
Still so green and lush Chris you live in beautiful surroundings…have another productive week ~ hugs and joy your way ~ hedy ☺️🙋♀️💫
Thank you so much, Hedy. We really enjoy living here. You have a great week also. Hugs and joy back.
This is undoubtedly unique. I’m loving the state you live in, Chris.
Thank you, Arati. One thing that I like about this area is that I can be in the mountains or at the sea in 90 minutes. It’s an interesting place. I hope I can show you around one day.
Oh, wow! That’s really amazing. I also hope that one day I can explore your place. Take care.
What lovely pictures, looks, so green and lush.
You are blessed with such beautiful sights ❤😍
Thank you. I do feel blessed to live here.
It seems that behind most covered bridges there is a personal history or at least a small community, all long before administrations took control of our collective life. I am not criticising the administrations, I just want to point out the change in the organisation of our society.
Yes, there is now more reliance on central control where as in the past small communities did things.
Beautiful views Chris! I’m glad the ranger was helpful and allowed you entry. I like the open construction of this one. What a pretty day it was! Take good care
Thank you, Sandra. It was a pretty bridge. It would be interesting to buy a property and have a covered bridge on it. Take care!
That would be fun! You take care too.
Bridge whisperer strikes again! The image with the rocks in the foreground is great!
Thank you Teri. I think I have seven left to go.
I love how bright the light is on the trees and the water. I love the beauty you capture at each of these locations! Beautiful state! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. It was challenging because i shot this mid-day when the light was ratehr harsh, but i was leased with the result. It’s a nice bridge.
All those washed away covered bridges – makes you wonder if it’s some kind of sport by the weather gods! 😉😁
The gods might be angry.
