Today I drove by an area where a mudslide knocked down two apartment houses and a garage. You just never know what is going to happen!
In 2008, my husband and I took a scenic train ride through Vermont. It was a gorgeous day with beautiful foliage. The Green Mountain Flyer took us along the Connecticut and Williams Rivers. One of the landmarks I remember is the historical Bartonsville Covered Bridge. Built in 1870, the bridge has a lattice truss style with a 151 foot span across the Williams River. Here are two pictures I took of the bridge that October day. Doesn't it just look peaceful?
Here is a link to the covered bridge during Hurricane Irene. This 141 year old bridge, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places was destroyed by Hurricane Irene on August 28, 2011. I feel so fortunate now to have seen this beautiful structure.
Thank you everyone for your prayers. I will be back tomorrow with a card for you.

so sad to read of another historical landmark gone...mother nature having a bad hair day or what?...thanks for sharing your pictures of the bridge
I watched the bridge fall. What a loss! Those bridges are so beautiful!
So glad you shared your photos of the bridge. I saw a film clip on TV as it was falling - so sad to lose a beautiful piece of history.
