Great!
This helped with homeschooling! Thanks for the numbers.

I have my great-uncle's photo album of many covered bridges in New Hamphire that he took while visiting in 1966.
I contacted the New Hampshire Hisptrical Society and they are not interested.
Do you have ideas?

Mr. Waldron, My name is Jerry Friedlander and I own a company called The Weekend Puzzle. Our web site is theweekendpuzzle.com I am interested in talking with you about the covered bridges of N.H. We just put up the site so it is still a work in progress. We also have a site called artistictrailmaps.com Please take a look and get in touch if it suits you. We can discuss my idea at that time.
Thank you,
Jerry

My husband and I have seen most of the bridges south of the Flume in the White Mountains. We were there this weekend and saw 11 bridges in the area. You have a very nice collection of NH bridges. Your site is great for those who want to see what the bridge looks like.Your site is a great reference of what the bridges look like for those who took pictures and are not sure which bridge their picture is.

Over the past 2 weeks, my family has started visting all the covered bridges that are recognized by the state as covered bridges. Over those 2 weeks, we have visited 17 covered bridges. Now we have visited more than that in New Hampshire, but only started counting visited covered bridges 2 weeks ago. Qualifications for a visit consists of taking a picture, such as you have.

Being a past resident of Tamworth, I am very happy to hear that they have finally started work on the Whitter Bridge. I have watched that bridge sway in the wind on days and move during floods on others. I don't know how long it took you to visit all 56 bridges, but I would like to know how long it took you.

I appreciate what you have done in putting together this collection of pictures.I spent several years living in maine and got to know some of the bridges you have photos of. It's so nice to se these pictures in one collection. You have my vote. Again thank you for your efforts.

my daughter and I are coming to New England next week and we are interested in seeing the covered bridges. It is awesome to see a sneak preview of what we will be seeing and hope to be able to find some of these during our travels. We are from Washington State. I have never been to New England but my mother was born in Northampton. The photos are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Mary Lentz

Dear John, I am ten, and studying N.H. covered bridges for my N.H project. I like covered bridges because they're scenic, and a part of history. My question is;do you like coverd bridges? If so,why? Sincerely, Derek P.S. my dad's e-mail is below.

I found your collection of beautiful photos by chance through an online search of interest, as I too, am on a journey of sorts, visiting NH covered bridges as well as many VT bridges as well(I reside in Lebanon, NH). I have enjoyed your gallery and couldn't possibly choose a favorite to vote for! Thanks for sharing! Michelle

I lvoed your pictures. Both of my parents are from Colebrook New Hampshire. When I was last there many years ago I bought a "covered bridges" map and found as many as I could in my travels. Thank you for showing me the ones I missed. It is beautiful country. I miss it greatly.

Donald, I have a Nikon scanner and great results. Send me an email at gsrunyan@bellsouth.net and I'll see if I can help.

These are great photos. Heading to NH myself on Oct 7 and hope to photo some with colored leaves in the area.

Great photos. I also photographed all the NH bridges, and same unofficial ones, during the Fall of 01 and 02. Mine were done with 35mm film and I'd like to get them on a Disc to come up in a nice way like this website. Unfortunately, my computer ability is limited and can't find anyone that knows how do do it. I bought a proffesional Nikon film scanner and don't know how to use it. I'm not interested in putting mine on the web, only a disc. I'd prefer doing it myself but the other alternative is to pay someone commercially but as a hobby, don't want to get into debt doing it. Did you do all this yourself or hire somebody. It's the best covered bridge photography and website layout that I've ever seen. Don Mudge, Rye NH
Andy 26-Mar-2006 15:21
Brilliant site and a great inspiration to me. We are visiting New England this Fall from England. I have just bought myself an EOS 350D and can't wait to get over there.
J MacLean 19-Dec-2005 17:46
Beautiful shots. Brings back many fond memories of a simpler time. Your collection is one of the best I've seen and one of my favourite subjects. My first drawings and paintings were of covered bridges, many years ago.
Guest 15-Feb-2005 04:07
Great shots John. I love covered bridges. We have a few here in Michigan but I don't think we have as many as you :) You did an excelent job on these.

Mr. Waldron,
Are any of the pictures posted here near Littleton, NH? Just interested. And are you related to any Waldrons down here in Virginia? My mother was a Waldron, in fact, my uncle's name was John Waldron....funny coincidence. Anyway, we have friends in Littleton, NH, are thinking of moving there and I make scale replicas of things like covered bridges, homes, etc. If you have the time to reply, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks, John Cooper

Fortunately I live in a good state for such an obsession. Although I still have some work to go, the bridges remaining are the farthest away.

Thanks for the post. I visited and enjoyed your gallery.
Bruce Ward10-Feb-2003 17:43
I like obsessive photo projects, and covered bridges are as good as anything to obsess on.
