Estimated Distance: 105.15 miles
Estimated Time: 1 hour 57 minutes
Your fuel log..............
32 MPG at 150 miles (including tour) = 5 gallons of fuel.
With return trip you will use a total of 10 gallons of fuel (or less) at $3.70 average.
Estimated cost $37.00 (lunch is on us)
Anyway, I have our "Covered Bridge Tour" mapped out for us to enjoy. There is going to be about 15% dirt road travel, so don't wash the cars. We will travel north on Rt7 and follow the map posted below. This will be a total of 5 bridges to visit. I say we stop and get out of the cars at the State Road bridge since it's just really cool there. The last bridge is optional because the road is just in terrible condition with huge holes. We will see what happens. Also, the longest covered bridge in the Nation was recently completed on Plymouth Ridge road. This bridge would be about 20 miles away from the State Road bridge, but I do not know if they have re-opened it since the road to the bridge is being repaved. This would also make the tour too long and many of us have a lot of travel time already, so I say we stick with my simple tour plan which will make the total time of the tour about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Here is the tour map..........
