My last day in Pennsylvania was spent driving, finding covered bridges and taking pictures. There are more covered bridges than any other states. The snow really added a lot to the photos.
The sign above the bridge says, "$5 fine for driving or riding faster than a walk over the bridge." We saw this same sign on more than one bridge. The bridges are still in use and I don't think there is a fine for driving faster than walking.
It was snowing part of the day. At one bridge we were truly 4-wheel driving. Lance was so funny; he put the truck in neutral and hit the gas so we all believed we were stuck in the snow for a bit. It was such a fun day.
This picture above is part of the mill built next to the stream with the covered bridge.
The bridges have similar design but if you look closely you can see the differences.
We started in Breezewood where we got a map of covered bridge locations. We drove from one bridge to another. It was fun just like a scavenger hunt as the covered bridges were difficult to find. I think it was Venus that said she wished she had a little prize for whoever found each bridge first. We laughed and talked, took pictures and found bridges.
In the picture below, you can see the scavenger group for covered bridge hunting: Lance, Gary, Candice, Venus, me and dad. Look how happy we all are!

The stream was frozen at this bridge.
The covered bridges were off the main roads since they were only one lane bridges.
Lance and Candice took time to initiate a little snowball fight that was fun and refreshing for those that participated.
This last day was one of the highlights of my trip. I'd love to do this again and see even more covered bridges next time.
