Out Door Wednesday Tahoe City Dam Covered Bridge

This is my first out door Wednesday it is hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Thank You Susan.

If you have trouble viewing the photos fully click on them, to see them better. Thanks to Susan for hosting the Out Door Wednesday!

I love the outdoors! right now my husband and I have been visiting lighthouses and Covered Bridges. So far we have found a few in California, however Oregon in which I hope to get back to soon, has the most Covered Bridges West of the Mississippi. But until we can get back to Oregon, we have been visiting all that we can drive to within a few hours of our home.

Here is one near our home we went to on September 25, 2009. It's the Tahoe City Dam Bridge, located in Tahoe City California. I took the covered bridge photos at different angles.

Some history the first Donner Lumber Boom Company built the first dam in 1872. The bridge is located at William B Layton Park, Tahoe City, CA.

I also took some photos of the lake with sail boats and different plants in the area. It was a beautiful day when we were there. Since the day we were there, close by in Truckee it snowed.

    Hey, Kat,
    I had to stop by the site of the woman who married the same year/same age! (Well, the first time, like you said.) Beautiful jewelry :)

    You made me wish I could hop on a plane and join you. To me Tahoe is one of the most beautiful areas I have visited. I love everything about it and Reno. I am trying to figure out a way to visit there soon. Thanks for taking me on a great picture tour of this great place.

    I loved your photos today. I live in an area with lots of bridges and lots of dams but I've never seen the two combined. Cool! Have a great day.

    Hi Kat,
    I, too, am fairly new to Outdoor Wednesdays and I just love seeing all the wonderful places around our country that I would love to visit. That covered bridge (that is also the dam!) is just beautiful...so serene. I love covered bridges and anytime I get to visit my daughter in PA, I'm going to try to visit a covered bridge! That is my new goal! LOL!
