The little town of Pinedale close to where we are staying has this covered bridge on the one road through town. It is the only covered bridge in Arizona. There was a plaque near the bridge that explained it was built as part of the bicentennial celebration. So it isn't as old as you might think. You can drive through with a car but we opted not to try our truck although it probably would have fit.
It had been so dry here and with forest fires starting all over the place they finally closed the forest. Most of the national forests in Arizona were closed over 4th of July which put a damper on some of the tourism. Now it has rained enough that they have reopened some of them. Ours is open again but the rain has been spotty. There are areas where the rain washed lots of debris on some forest roads. Other areas not far from us still haven't gotten any rain and the fire danger is still extreme. There is rain in the forecast every day so hopefully the rain will hit where it is needed.
