Looking for something laid back and slightly outdoorsy, we headed to Humpback Bridge, Alleghany County's covered bridge. The bridge wayside was a great place for Elijah to get out and run around--an in less fickle weather, it makes an excellent picnic spot, too. Even on a blustery day, there were folks fishing, and in the summer, you'll find folks swimming, too. It's also an interesting place to read local graffiti. While we opted for a quick trip and were then on to visit family, it would be easy to combine a trip to the bridge with a trip to Falling Springs Falls or Gathright/Lake Moomaw's recreational areas.
If you go, you'll be driving just beyond Covington past the Rosedale area. If you need to GPS it, use an easier address such as the nearby Covington Episcopal Boys' Home. While you are in the area, eat at our favorite restaurant in that neck of the woods: Cucci's. You must have some of the turnover sauce!
