Geocaching on Humpback Bridge

The Humpback Covered Bridge located in Virginia, is the only remaining covered bridge in the United States that was built higher in the middle than on either end; hence the name of "humpback".


These Covered bridges were sometimes known as "Kissing Bridges" because couple in driven buggies could make out in privacy.

The Bridge was built in 1857 as part of the James River Turnpike. The Turn Pike was re-route in the 1020's when Model-T's replaced Driven Buggies.

Now it's just an awesome park with a place for to swim. It can still be a "Kissing Bridge!"

Had I been Geocaching with a Buddy instead of by myself, I would have tried out some of that KISSING

Actually, the Story about the Bridges of Madison County take place in Iowa. Humpback Bridge is located in Bath County, Virginia.
