Jim..I am VERY impressed. How did you know?

Made me go Google it. I just was exploring the Gold Country after the BMW NorCal 49er Rally last spring. Pretty unique to CA. Usually associate covered bridges with New England. (I've never been there)

Jim tell me you did not search a data base or are you just a huge Bridge fan?

The Oak trees tell me it could be in CA.

My first guess was near Annapolis CA. but no too open....
Let me ponder it. Any body else??
