October Saturday Drive: Covered Bridges – Bring a Picnic Lunch

This is a casual drive starting in Wilsonville, traveling through Marquam and Yoder. We will wind our way through Silver Falls State Park and into Stayton’s Pioneer Park for a restroom break and a short walk to the Jordan Covered Bridge. We will then drive to the Hannah and Shimanek Covered Bridges before stopping for a picnic lunch at the Roaring River County Park.  After lunch we will drive through the Larwood, Hoffman and Gilkey Covered Bridges on our way to Silverton. We will be driving approximately 140 miles on this tour, so make sure that you start with a full tank of fuel.

This Tour has a maximum of 10 vehicles per group, due to the limited parking spaces at most of the Covered Bridge stops.  There will be 3 groups of 10 cars each.  Please arrive at 8:30am.  There will be a combined Participant Safety meeting at 8:45. We will have a staggered start for the groups after the safety meeting.

Please register for the group you want.  Volunteers are needed for Leads and Sweeps. Please volunteer when you register, if you are able and willing to accept the responsibilities.
