You'll be looking for a green matchstick safe container so bring
your own writing utensil.
Come check out this BEAUTIFULLY restored covered bridge across a
river along SR 235. There is ample parking on either end of the
bridge with access to the underside as well. They have REALLY done
a nice job of restoring this thing and have installed barriers to
keep people from driving across but it is totally open for you to
stroll across and admire.
There is somewhat of a decent grade up to the bridge but is
FULLY accessible to those with any type of handicap as long as they
are mobile.
Handicaching rating for this (that I got would be):
H11211
Probably be tougher for some of those who own less expensive
gizmos as you will have the roof to contend with possibly degrading
your reception. I did the best I could with what I had at the time
that worked. Batteries had died on my best unit, was using my
backup eXplorist GC.
Here is a history lesson I found recently from Google
Earth.
The Medora Covered Bridge crosses the East Fork of the White River
outside the small township of Medora, Indiana. This strucutre is
the last standing triple span covered bridge in Indiana as well as
the longest covered bridge still standing in the United States. The
Medora Covered Bridge has a length of 434 feet, or 458 feet
including the 12-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance
16 feet wide by 12 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1875 by Joseph J.
Daniels, the structure was bypassed in 1972 and now sits beside the
new concrete bridge. In 2000 the Allocation Plan of the National
Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program provided $69,000 to be
used for structural repairs along with $617,400 from other sources.
The Medora Covered Bridge was listed as #14-36-04 in the 1989 World
