A covered bridge is a bridge, often single-lane, with enclosed sides and a roof. They are typically wooden. Early bridges were made of wood, especially where it was a plentiful resource. Wooden bridges tended to deteriorate rapidly from exposure to the elements, having a useful lifespan of only nine years. Covering them protected their structural members, thus extending their life to 80 years or more. Covered bridges were also constructed to be used by travelers during storms and inclement weather. Most wooden covered bridges employ trusses as their key structural design element. A popular design was the Brown truss, known for its simplicity, but others were also used. Covered bridges are generally considered old-fashioned, and appeal to tourists, but the purpose is twofold: (1) covered bridges appear similar to barns and it is easier to transport cattle across them without startling them, and (2) to build a structure for weather protection over the working part of the bridge. A bridge built entirely out of wood, without any protective coating, may last 10 to 15 years. Builders discovered that if the bridge's underpinnings were protected with a roof, the bridge could stand for 70, or even 80 years. The existing covered bridges have been renovated using concrete footings and steel trusses to hold additional weight and to replace the original support timbers.Some covered bridges, such as the one in Newton Falls, Ohio and Elizabethton, Tennessee, also feature an integrated covered walkway. Ohio is so unique with its covered bridges. It was awesome to visit the bridges one by one -- to see Ohio's beauty from the back roads.

I'm a tough critic when it comes to food and I could find absolutely nothing that could be…read moreimproved. The entire dining experience was spectacular. I don't typically seek out Italian restaurants as I find most dishes bland for my taste and will now be a regular here. Our waitress was attentive but did not interrupt frequently or make us feel pressured to pay and turn over the table quickly. The atmosphere was calm and intimate. I ordered lobster fettuccine and the sauce was even better than they described with a perfect citrus balance which kept it rich without tasting too heavy. The lobster was perfectly cooked and had an abundance of whole, shelled lobster claws throughout. The stuffed banana peppers packed serious heat as promised and the sausage was a delicate texture rather than chewy as I've had at several other places. Bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The arugula and mushroom salad and smoked chicken ravioli also had excellent flavor. Great wine selections as well. This place deserves a Michelin star. It probably wouldn't have survived this long as a business being this far off the beaten path if this weren't true.
