in the shelter of the covered bridge – love stories
Moores Mills Covered Bridge (Trout Creek #5) – one of New Brunswick’s 60 existing ‘kissing bridges’
~
A covered bridge is also known as a ‘kissing bridge’ – a place where a couple can steal a caress in privacy. A covered bridge has always been a good place to leave a message about affection for one another.
~
During our covered bridge visits over the weekend, we saw lots of examples of these messages …

Hi. Yes, these bridges and their carvings are great places for mystery. Perhaps someone local remembers these people. Thanks Robin. Jane
