This is one I plan on going to at some point, maybe even this year, but I hear it gets quite crowded, especially on the weekends. Fortunately, being retired, we can do it during the week.
Maybe not quite the Bridges of Madison County, but Indiana's Parke County offers a beautiful fall drive to see 32 covered bridges of all shapes and sizes. Begin at the visitor's center in Rockville, Indiana, about an hour's drive west of Indianapolis on U.S.-36 (Rockville Road).
From there, maps will guide you through curved, tree-covered roads and stretches between harvest fields.
Time it through October 19 to attend the Covered Bridge Festival (Oops, missed that one), with its seasonal food, arts and crafts. The inn at Turkey Run State Park is a good place for dinner-- or for the night.
Go north on US-41 for continued scenery.
Gotta Go There. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
