Ok, this is the official thread for the 2007 SSR Fanatic Tour of Lancaster County Covered Bridges (Covered Bridge Power Tour you could say
) Date is May 19th.
We will be focusing on the northern half of the county. This tour will encompass 15 bridges in all, plus a few extra goodies thrown in for good measure. I think everyone will be pleased with the driving route I've chosen - the only "highway" miles are on some of the lesser roads and it's all scenic with the only exception of the final leg at the end of the day.
I am preparing driving directions and a handout with bridge descriptions and histories. I will post it up here when I'm done, and I'll bring a few copies with me in case someone's forgotten theirs.
Meeting place (subject to change) is at the Lancaster County Shopping center. It's conveniently sandwiched between PA Rt 501, US Rt. 222, and US Rt 30 (see attached map). There are plenty of restaurants nearby for those wishing to get out early and get some breakfast before the run. I figure if we get rolling by 10AM, we will have time to hit all of the bridges with plenty of loiter time and still finish in time for a reasonable dinner hour.
Please post if you are coming on the tour.
