Finally finished New Hampshire's Northern Rail Trail! 58 miles, there and back, though we did complete it in segments.
Just posted a trail review, including more photos, maps, and an elevation profile to help you plan how to segment the route if you don't want to do it in a single day: https://www.trailspotting.com/2023/05/northern-rail-trail-nh.html

The Creamery Bridge across the Whetstone Brook in #Brattleboro. Built in 1879, a walkway alongside was added later. It has the "Town lattice" design, named after engineer Ithiel Town.
It is now paralleled by a modern bridge, hence the snow mountain blocking the road side.
It's a popular photo op for visitors, being right by the interstate and the beloved Vermont Country Deli.

Enjoyed this article explaining the main reason #CoveredBridges are covered: to protect the important parts of the bridge from rotting (NOT, as I'd supposed, to keep the roadway free of ice and snow).
My picture shows the interior of our local one, the #Dummerston Covered Bridge, across the West River. Many of my summer bike rides take me here and beyond. #Vermont

Smiths Bridge, New Castle County, Delaware
There are so many of these wooden covered bridges in southern Vermont. I photographed many, but this one from inside is my favorite.
