Here is a little bit more info for anyone considering joining us this Saturday:
• The rain date is now a yet to be determined Sunday in August 2015 (the day after next year’s cruise); I've been offered an Eagles ticket for this Sunday's game. That means we’ll run this cruise on Saturday whether it rains or not, as long as at least one of you would like to join us. There are covered picnic areas at Elk Neck State Park, and you won't have to go into the Chesapeake Bay if it's raining.
• The first covered bridge we cross is the Wooddale Bridge. The original was built around 1850 and destroyed by flood in 2003. The replacement bridge was completed in 2008).
• Next is the Ashland Bridge built in 1860. It is the only original covered bridge in Delaware still standing. Sadly, the Ashland Bridge was severely damaged in a hit-and-run accident with a tall truck on August 1st this year (pic from The News Journal shows the damage). The truck ran after the accident; the bridge is still there.
• Our covered bridge odyssey continues into SE PA where we cross the Rudolph and Arthur Bridge (1880), 80 feet long (http://www.pacoveredbridges.com/chester-...dge-photo/), the Linton Stevens Bridge (1866), 102 feet long (http://www.pacoveredbridges.com/chester-...ns-photos/) and the Glen Hope Bridge(1889), 65 feet long (http://www.pacoveredbridges.com/chester-...ge-photos/). Glen Hope was reconstructed in 1991. These are all SE of US1.
• That’ll bring us close to our picnic lunch stop (and swim if the weather cooperates).
I’ll let the rest of the cruise speak for itself for now. Hope to see ya there!
