Some history about the Mt. Orne covered bridge: The original bridge
at this site was built in the late 1800's but was destroyed by a log
jam in 1908. In 1969 a salt truck broke through the bridge and
landed on the ice below. The salt from the truck spilled onto the
ice and threatened to melt the ice that held the salt truck from
breaking through.
