"Nothing behind me,
Everything ahead of me,
As is ever so on the road."

Though shorn of snow, it's a chilly December day
as the country road winds through the historic Schlicher Covered Bridge,
North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
What lies ahead is the beautiful rural landscape at sunset ...
and endless possibilities.
Schlicher's is an historic wooden covered
bridge. It is a 108-foot-long, Burr Truss bridge that crosses the
Jordan Creek and was constructed in 1882. It has vertical plank siding and a gable
roof. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and
was closed for a time for needed renovations.
