Covered Bridges of California<\/h2>\n
\"Oregon
Oregon City Bridge, off Cherokee Rd, N Oroville, CA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Overland pioneers and miners flooded the Sierra Nevada mountains<\/a> after 1848, when gold was discovered,\u00a0transforming the natural landscape and native life of California – in horrendous ways. Industrius, eager and using the abundance of natural resources available to build homes, divert creeks, and construct a new way of life. Mining for precious metals was not a hobby, it was a ‘way of life’ for many who sought westward locales. Most traversed a continent on foot with covered wagons to get out here.<\/p>\n

Many early bridges made of wood have disappeared in California. Historic places, such as these few wooden bridges of the West, need to be protected and preserved. So no carving your initials; spray paint (tagging), littering – nor bullet holes. <\/p>\n
