They said haunted bridge, creative Architecture Covered Blair Bridg...

Hello, friends, travelers, and community! I hope you are all doing well and spending quality time with your loved ones.

One day, while we went to the supermarket in Plymouth, we had a little time to drive around. I was thinking this might be our last visit to New Hampshire, and I wanted to create plenty of memories. We have been traveling there for many years, visiting once a year, and are quite attached to this place.

As we drove to Plymouth, the weather wasn’t very good. It was cloudy and windy when we left home. However, as we were close to Plymouth, the sky began to clear up and the wind calmed down, but this only lasted for half an hour.

While driving toward Plymouth another day, I took this photo of the Campton Pond hydro-dam, it located in downtown Campton.

While driving to Plymouth, watching the highway is always pleasant for me, especially when I sit beside the driver.

The nice color of autumn is very attractive. It is a beautiful season to experience New Hampshire. October and the beginning of November are the best fall colors, but we were a little late.

After finishing our shopping, on our way back, it was again cloudy we decided to take a different route instead of the direct highway. We drove by Blair Road little bit scenic.
It wasn't so much distance from the highway exit to the Blair covered bridge. A wooden covered bridge on that route, we visited it with James back in 2010. Before that, we did some treks, adventures, and spent happy moments together. Today, James wasn't with us, and we are not sure about his future. It is sad.

This is Campton's famous covered Blair Bridge.

In the afternoon, the traffic was lighter, so I was able to take some photos of the wooden structure. It is amazing, but the cloudy weather made it difficult to capture clear distance photos.

This is an old bridge, the second-longest covered bridge entirely within New Hampshire. New Hampshire is well-known for its covered bridges. Another state famous for these kinds of bridges is Iowa. This particular bridge was built over the Pemigewasset River in 1829. based on stone and has many stories associated with it. It is said to be cursed and haunted, as James mentioned during our visit. The original structure was burned down by an arsonist, and the rebuilding process was quite challenging. We were there in 2010, but I heard it was damaged by Hurricane Irene in 2011, which led to costly repairs. The truth behind the haunting stories remains uncertain, but we were informed that the bridge has experienced many accidents since it was built.

Here is a short history of this bridge.

After reading those signs, we can understand the capacity of the bridge. It is single-lane driving, that why people are very conscious while driving on it.

Beautiful, clean water and landscape. Some autumn leaves were floating around on the water. The river was calm.

On the bank of the river, a coffee shop was open, but we had no time to go inside. Between the river and the coffee shop, the walking track was visible; we walked there before with James. It was a very nice nature around there with a small waterfall.
