[or-roots] Covered bridges

[Verdena Veelle]

Cecil,
We often drive the old Hwy 99 in this area.  Could you tell me a little more specifics on where this was located and I will keep an eye out for it.  We once took a drive to check on many of the covered bridges in the Scio area.  One of my husband's brothers lives there.  Probably not all of them are there anymore.

  Years ago there were many covered bridges in Oregon.  Far too many of them are now history.  The dams on the Santiam River eliminated 2 or 3 of them (at Foster and Quartsville).



  My late brother, Doug Houk had a fascination with those bridges.  The pix above is his mail box on 99E in Aurora, OR taken in August, 2000.  I hope it's still there.

  Doug also made covered bridge bird feeders, and would have made many more had he not lost his fight with cancer in 1997.  There was one next to his home in Aurora; atop a 10 foot steel pole.  His cat, Ms Dos (who now lives with me), tried many times to jump from the fence to it.  You can see this bird feeder at:
