The World's Longest Covered Bridge

Traveling from Quebec City towards Prince Edward Island, we drove through New Brunswick.

At one point, I noticed a sign to The World's Longest Covered Bridge...

Really?! This is something I had to see!

So we followed the signs towards Hartland, a small town on the St. John River.





There it was - a relic of the days when horse-drawn wagons were used for travel. Horses didn't like to go over water, so - to solve the problem of nervous horses - they created covered bridges.







Nearby, we found a spin-off industry - a potato chip factory that produced "Covered Bridge Chips." (Here is their "World's Smallest Covered Bridge"!








 They come in various flavors - even lobster!











Terry had seen them in stores at home - but here - where they were made, he just had to buy some!
