I had about 30 minutes to spare between appointments in Covington earlier this week, so I decided to stop by Humpback Bridge. This arched covered bridge just west of Covington is one of the area's landmarks.
 |
| The bridge itself is in pretty good shape. There are picnic tables on both sides of Dunlap Creek, and in the summer it's a favorite spot for water play. |
 |
| The LOVE artwork is new since the last time we visited. The "L" is made from local bricks, the "O" is a gear from an old paper machine from the WestRock Covington mill, the "V" is a wonderful sycamore tree, and the the "E" is made from railroad ties. |
For more about "Virginia is for Lovers" (which goes back almost 50 years now) and other "LOVE" art around Virginia, visit the
Virginia Tourism website.
