This morning we took a tour of the manufacturing process at the C. F. Martin guitar factory and it was a very nice showing of the whole process. With current technologies of computer controlled machinery and robots it still takes skilled craftsmen/ladies to finish the final beautiful product. They also had a museum with many, many guitars from various big name musicians. In one display case was their 1,000,000th guitar and it was all guild-ed with inlay and fancy details. As a memento we were each given a scrap cut-out circle from the sound hole off the assembly line. They also had several of their models out for anyone to do a bit of pick'n, that guitar (not my pick'n) sure sounded good.
After the tour and lunch we then searched for some of the covered bridges in this Lehigh Valley. There were seven listed in the brochure and we found six of them as reported in the following album. The last one was quite a distance from our location and our campground so we decided that we were ready to head back to the trailer.

Fred, you look pretty good all ready for your debut.
Got to look at all your pictures today and enjoyed them very much. I could almost hear the water running and you playing. Just glad Jo wasn't singing along. :-)
