Most covered bridges I've had the privilege to visit go unpainted or have some variation of barnyard red. Although white is less common, it is also stunning in the right setting. So many covered bridges are riddled with graffiti or have deep carvings in their wood. I was surprised to see very few carvings, but it was still loaded with graffiti of a different sort. Because of its white canvas, it is very easy to see the thick layer of dust that has settled on the wood. Passers-by have taken advantage of this dust to write their names much like you would write "wash me" in the caked on dirt of a dirty car. This may be the first acceptable form of graffiti I've ever seen on a bridge! The bridge sits on stone abutments adding to its attractiveness. During my drive to the bridge, I passed several Amish communities and had the opportunity to see a glimpse of their life as children played tag in the rain outside of on old church building. We also saw several bearded elders driving their horse and wagons down the road. One elder had a completely enclosed wagon complete with a windshield . His wagon was also different than the others in that it wasn't black, but wrapped in what looked like tan leather. We figured he must be the wealthy dude in the community or the mayor! These are probably normal sightings for the residents of Pennsylvania, but for our family it was a new and cool experience! FINAL THOUGHTS One thing I love most about visiting covered bridges is that it forces you off the normal roads of life. I've traveled many back roads to see a variety of bridges around the country, and there is always something new to experience that I may have never seen from the interstates and main roads I would normally travel. Best of all, it only cost you a little fuel. 2016/75

It was constructed as a "lifesaver" after the Johnstown Flood of May 31, 1889, the Incline has more than lived up to its original lifesaving purpose. I read that flood waters again swept through the Conemaugh and Stonycreek Valleys on March 17, 1936 and July 20, 1977. During both floods, the Incline carried men, women, children and vehicles to safety and help. It is one of the longest and steepest hoists in the world and one of the few transportation systems of its kind still in existence and has its place in the Guinness Book of Records as "The steepest vehicular inclined plane in the world." The incline is closed for refurbishments set to be completed in Spring 2023. We were thrilled to see a large American flag flying above the incline. The flagpole is 125 feet tall and is on the highest point above the valley. I am sure that this flag can be seen for miles.

LOL ----------------------- Previous review: This is one of those odd and quirky, yet cool, locations that hardly anyone knows about.  This little landmark was built sometime in the 1930s, and is located just within the boundary of North Park.  It almost appears to be some sort of ancient tomb, but inside lies a springhouse, and the water is still trickling away, which creates quite an echo of sound.  Pretty easy to find, just a little bit off the beaten path.  Cheers!
