It was almost a sure bet that someone would be riding a horse nearby the bridge. After the visit to the bridge, off to the Fish Hatchery just down the road. My Potter family settled in Forksville in the early 1800s. I lived in the area for a while. I can remember swimming in the Loyalsock creek as a boy.
Some family members are still there.
The area has changed very little since then. Every year I visit the east coast at one time or another. I live in California but my heart is still in the east with the beautiful landscapes and covered bridges. This year I visited bridges in Illinois. Being part of the Covered Bridge Preservation Society gives me the chance to be part of keeping these covered bridges as our American heritage.
