As a mostly continuous California resident, a carpenter, fly fisher, photographer, and possessing an intense curiosity for most everything, I have been fortunate to combine pursuits of many interests to discover much of California's history. An unexpected find as a result of seeking photo opportunities is California's Covered Bridges. The carpenter in me is interested in the engineering. Add to that my photographer's eye enjoys the aesthetics of the bridges, which of course generally span a fishing opportunity, the decision to visit these bridges is easy.
