Butte Creek Canyon: Ecological Preserve and Honey Run Covered Bridge, near Chico, Calif., April 22, 2010

A little drive between Paradise and Chico out to the Honey Run Covered Bridge, the 116-year-old, only known three-span covered bridge in the United States, was made more interesting on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, 2010, with a brisk walk in the Butte Creek Ecological Preserve just a few miles down the road. I never knew this preserve existed and it was great to discover it on Earth Day! Photos by Alan Sheckter / AlSheck@comcast.net.
