is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.”

The
spring melt is on at Geiger’s Covered Bridge as the late March sun melts the
snow off the roof a few days after a snowstorm on the first full day of spring
March 21 brought more than a foot of snow to the region.
Geiger’s Covered Bridge is an
historic wooden covered bridge in North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. It is
a 112-foot-long Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1860. It has vertical plank
siding and an entry portal of stepped square planks. It crosses the Jordan
Creek and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It
can be accessed from The Covered Bridge Trail of the Trexler Nature Preserve,
Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
