Covered Bridges of Bucks County - Pine Valley
The Pine Valley Covered Bridge is located just in New Britain just west of Doylestown. It is on Iron Hill Road and crosses Pine Run Creek. If you want to see and photograph the bridge there is a small community park, the New Britain Civic Association Covered Bridge Park with ample parking just off the south end of the bridge. The bridge is heavily traveled which makes walking through it hazardous at best.
Pine Valley Covered Bridge carries Old Iron Hill road across Pine Run Creek in New Britain Township. It was built in 1842 and is 81 feet long. It is just outside Doylestown.
Below is Cabin Run just North of the bridge with a cool little waterfall.

Covered Bridges of Bucks County
A map of the dozen plus bridges is located here. Much of the material here was found on the Scenic Bucks County Website
Given how cool they are and there is a lot of published info on them, I wanted to add them to my blog. I have ridden through all but 1 (Perkasie) on 2 wheels.
The Central Bucks Bicycle Club (CBBC) does an awesome ride through most of them every fall, thus I am familiar with their beauty and serenity.
The first in the series is Loux Covered Bridge.
The Loux Covered Bridge is one of the smaller covered bridges in Bucks County; you come upon it suddenly following Wismer Road as it bends and drops down to cross Cabin Run on the Bedminster/ Plumstead border. At short distance down stream this creek is crossed by Cabin Run Covered Bridge.
Location: Wismer Rd., Plumstead Twp.
Height Limit: 11 ft. Width: 15 ft.
Length: 60 ft. Weight Limit: 15 tons
History: BUILT of hemlock in 1874, you'll find this bridge is one of two bridges to span the Cabin Run Creek. Nestled in a scenic valley, it was built at the insistence of local residents who complained about the dangers of crossing the creek

Salmon Fillets Stuffed With Crabmeat
1 pound backfin or other high quality crabmeat
1 egg
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon
Cut a pocket in the center of each salmon fillet. Either slice through the fillet or make a slit in the middle and then cut from this slit into either side of the fillet. Don't worry too much about this process. You are just trying to get some sort of pocket to hold the crabmeat. Gently combine the remaining ingredients trying not to break up the lumps of crabmeat. Evenly divide the crabmeat mixture and stuff into each fillet pocket. Cut the lemon into three sections and squeeze one section over each fillet. As an alternative, you can cut the lemon into slices and lay the slices evenly over each fillet. Bake stuffed salmon for 30 - 45 minutes in a 375-degree oven, checking every few minutes after 25 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on how thick the salmon fillets are and how you made the pockets. The salmon is done when the fish is flaky and the stuffing is cooked through.
The Skinny: Use light mayo and your favorite egg substitute.

Memorial Day 2009
Another great holiday with our friends in Mystic for Memorial Day. Trip started off a little sketchy as the train before ours from Trenton hit a deer and dumped all the passenger on our train. We were sure we'd be standing, but we got seats and were only 40 minutes late.
As usual, lots of eating, cycling, drinking, walking sightseeing, laughing, joke telling (as you can see from this video...in the center Lisa tells her famous "Pretzel" joke for the 152nd and best time!!)
Had some great wine (1997 Grgich reserve and Peju cab) as well as some killer meals. Went out once to Skipper's Dock in Stonington for lobster rolls, yumm!
Rest of the time, my bud David manned the Weber.
Just back now from an uneventful trip home to Trenton. Weather considerably warmer here and headed down to make a nice BBQ meal!!

Flocking 101
Just came across a very cool tool to tie blogging and other social media tools together, called Flock by Mozilla.
Very easy to use and keeps track of FB, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, MySpace, etc.
Drag and drop blog editor (that I am using now) makes life easy as well.

Looking Back on Our Vacation
As always, returning to reality is tough after a fantastic holiday! The sights and location was beautiful, but the people you meet really are what makes a trip great. Going through the 3000 photos I took, I stumbled upon these as they were taken from a secondary camera. It was 12 March.
We had decided that we wanted some space to ourselves to shoot macro on Mabul and maybe see a whale shark. So we went back to a site called Stingray City, 10,000+ miles from the one on Grand Cayman.
We saw so many mating nudibranchs and unbelievable critters, but the most memorable were our guides. Trying to stay in touch with them so when the few things I hoped to see and didn't surface, I can see them online (the elusive flamboyant cuttlefish for example.
Heres to Abbie, Froi and Niger (and Richard)!
