This morning we drove to the Union Covered Bridge which is just a few miles west of Paris, MO. This is one of the four remaining covered bridges in Missouri. Several years ago, late 1960s, it was totally restored when all of the remaining covered bridges at that time came into the state park system as State Historic Monuments. In 1988 during a huge flood that threatened to destroy the bridge they pulled some of the siding off to allow the stream to flow through and not push the bridge off of it's supports. This saved the bridge but now they are waiting for funds to refinish that damage.
After a nice lunch we stopped by the Clarence Cannon Dam visitors center before returning to our campsite.
