The two RV Gypsies walked down a short, grassy hill from the parking lot by the bridge and stood by the water. Looking left they saw a dam and looking right they saw Wehr's Covered Bridge. |

As usual, Karen Duquette wanted to feel the temperature of the water. |

Wehr's Bridge is the fourth of five covered bridges that cross Jordan Creek in Lehigh County. The 140 foot long, 17 foot wide, Burr Truss Bridge was built in 1841. Originally known as Sieger's Bridge, the term "Wehr's Bridge" became more common after the opening of Wehr's Mill, which was built nearby in 1862. The bridge, along with the nearby Guth Bridge, forms South Whitehall Township's Covered Bridge Park that is anchored by both bridges and runs along side Jordan Creek. |

The two RV Gypsies tried to find more covered bridges, but the map they were given was not very clear, and they got lost several times, so after three covered bridges, they gave up. |
