Look out below!

My friend Tracy and I went to Ashville about 2 weeks ago to visit my mom. She took us to some cool stores and lunch in a neighboring town and then took us to visit the tallest covered bridge in America. The first time she went (with my grandma), she called me from the bridge to tell me if they didn't make it across, to remember she loved me. Ok... my first thought was 'how tall can a covered bridge really be?' Well, I realized that when we saw it... they can be really tall over a really steep and rocky ravine. So tall, that I refused to cross it in the Tahoe... even after we saw a car and truck cross. It was really amazing, but a little frightening. Evidently, there are a lot of farms on the other side of the bridge and I believe it is the only way to get across from the farms to the town. It is a 1 lane bridge, so you have to wait your turn. It was built about 100 years ago, give or take a few years, and was renovated in 1974. Nothing since then. Evidently, a family, who owned a mill built the bridge. The only way to the mill was to cross a river and during seasons of high water, no one would visit the mill because of the level of the river, so to protect business interest, they built the covered bridge. I am posting pictures of the bridge also. Have a great day!
