Beech Fork Covered Bridge

This bridge means so much to me. This was where my grandfather first took me fishing. Mostly because he said we would catch something lol. He was always right! They were small but they were something. They have really started cleaning up the area around the bridge now and posted no dumping signs. The grafiti is kinda neat and a lot of history, but other damages like kicking out boards and fires is really a disgrace. I wish they would put the historic sign back up which was knocked down or stolen a few years ago.

I have always been obsessed with maps and roads. As a young child (mid-80s) I would make my mother take me on trips I planned from looking at the County Maps book. This bridge was just over the county line, so I went there fairly often. It's in pretty good shape. I also read that the state is going to "refurbish" it, whatever that means. The graffiti is actually kind of cool (I remember it from my childhood) but there have been some bad things done (illegal dumping, kicked-out boards, etc).

This is the longest covered bridge still standing in Kentucky. The interior is a riot of spray painted graffiti. Last time I was there it looked like someone built a campfire on the floor. Sad, for this is truly an historic structure.

Many good motorcycle roads in the area.
