Greetings. Great blog! I recently rewrote the article on covered bridges in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covered_bridge. My user name there is Cornellier, which is my last name. While I was at it I started a new page called List of covered bridges in New_Brunswick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_covered_bridges_in_New_Brunswick. In so doing I discovered your info-packed website and a few other resources besides. I think it's good to get the word out to raise public awareness so these structures can be preserved. I've added a link from the page to your website. If you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia, I'd be especially interested in posting some of your fine photos there. Ping me at cornellier@gmail.com if interested. Keep up the good work! John
