Putnam County Covered Bridges

Indiana has 91 covered bridges.

We visited 3 bridges in Putnam County

 First we visited the Pine Bluff covered bridge built in 1915.

It is 211 feet spanning the Big Walnut Creek.

 Just a few miles away is the Rolling Stone Bridge.

It spans 103 feet and was also built in 1915 by the same builder, 

Joseph A. Britton.

The bridge was named for a large nearby boulder in the creek that rolled in the action of the water.

It was deemed a hazard to the bridge and dynamited.

 On our way to the next bridge, we encountered this fellow on the road.

 He checked out our vehicle and then let us pass.

 The last bridge was the Bakers Camp Bridge, built in 1901.

 It spans the Big Walnut Creek at 128 feet and was built by J.J. Daniels.

                    The bridges were covered to protect them from decay.                    

I'm glad they're still here.
