55/365 Elder Mill Covered Bridge

On the way home from Athens, the man and I stopped in several antique stores.  One guy told us how to get to a covered bridge just a few miles away.  Since neither of us had ever experienced a covered bridge (other than in pictures), we drove out to see it.  

This covered bridge was built in 1897.  It is one of only 15 covered bridges in Georgia.  

I thought it was awesome!  I would have loved to have climbed down in the creek but the recent rains made creek wading not a possibility.
