West Cornwall Covered Bridge over the Housatonic River in Connecticut, USA - Unravel Travel TV
The West Cornwall Covered Bridge is a wooden covered lattice truss bridge carrying the Sharon-Goshen Turnpike over the Housatonic River in the town of Cornwall, Connecticut, USA. A previous bridge was destroyed in the flood of 1837 and a new bridge was constructed in 1841. This bridge would also be destroyed and the current bridge would be completed circa 1864. Utilizing the central pier from the previous incarnation, despite the Town lattice being able to withstand the weight and single span, the bridge has two spans. The later addition of queen trusses and supports gives the bridge an unusual appearance. Modernization of the bridge in 1968 and 1973 has continued to let the bridge handle traffic. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The West Cornwall covered bridge is very significant and important as one of only three surviving covered bridges in the state of Connecticut.

Cornwall Covered Bridge
Cornwall bridge in West Cornwall Connecticut. Built in 1841. Spanning the Housatonic river.
I went to film the bridge but the yellow furry caterpillar became the main attraction. He/she kept trying to get onto my camera. I hope he/she made it to where they were going.

Autumn Leaves Drive Across Connecticut
Several years ago I had a day to make the drive from Hartford, Connecticut to Albany, New York. It was October and the autumn leaves were in full color. I made a number of photo stops along the drive, but I didn't keep specific details on the locations of many of the pictures. My general route followed US 202 west to Torrington, and from there along CT 4 west to the covered bridge at West Cornwall. North on US 7, then north on CT 128, and finally west on US 44 completed my drive through northwest Connecticut.

Fall Foliage (Autumn Travel) - Litchfield Hills, Connecticut
The Litchfield Hills are the rolling foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, located near the historic town of Litchfield, Connecticut. The Litchfield Hills are perfect for the fall color seekers. The small town offers everything you need with a colorful backdrop. What you will see is an amazing view of red, yellow and orange rolling over the countryside.
In the hills you can hike and bike on the many available trails that will take you up close to the fall foliage. You can also see the hills and colors by taking one of the beautiful scenic drives. Litchfield is very beautiful in the fall because there are orange leaves, yellow leaves and red leaves, too.
Lake Waramaug is a great place to view the colors and have a fun drive. If you head north, you will see a picturesque covered bridge and in West Cornwall. The fall is also a great time to go wine-tasting in these vibrant hills. Check out Haight-Brown Vineyard, located on Chestnut Hill. Not only it is Connecticut's first established winery, but you can also get local cheeses here.
For history, architecture and great autumn views, check out Topsmead State Forest. Antiquing is also a fun activity for a fall day. The Litchfield area provides great shops downtown as well as cool places scattered outside. Now, if you are looking for a bite to eat, try a place off the beaten path called Wood's Pit Bar be Que, a Mexican Cafe. Now this is definitely the type of place you need a local to recommend for you. I am Mike Camerlengo, showing you Litchfield Hills.

July Bridge Progress
This is another in a sequence of monthly videos of work being done to Save Our Bridge -- the covered bridge across the South Yuba River at Bridgeport, CA. It was built in 1862 by David I. Wood, two years before California became a state. We are still in the disassembly-and-inspection stage, this month concentrating on removing the floor and shake side walls. About half the side walls have been removed and all of the top floor. Nails are being pulled from the sub-floor. The nuts on the arch bolts about to be unscrewed.

Covered Bridges & Bronzebacks (Fishing the HOUSATONIC River)
Once summer takes hold in Southern New England, the Housatonic River is among the most exciting places you can go for fast-paced smallmouth bass fishing. And for that matter, the river is also exceptionally scenic, meandering through hilly woodlands and even coursing beneath two of Connecticut's rustic covered bridges dating back to the 1800s.
We hit the water near the old West Cornwall Bridge over the course of two days (separated y about a week) to see what the river would offer up. There were plenty of fish to be had and filming this one was pretty damn fun.
