Message: [QUOTE="PAHuskeyFan, post: 3996310, member: 7880"] Mine is the Rupert Covered Bridge, Bloomsberg, PA. The Bridge was built in 1847 over the Fishing Creek in Bloomsberg, PA at a cost of $1637. It was named after the near by village settled by Leonard Rupert in 1788. The "why I chose it as my Avatar" is a bit unique... When I became a Boneyarder, I chose the moniker "PAHuskeyFan," since that's where we were living,... and decided I needed an Avatar to represented something PA was known for. Well, every year, My Wife and I held a big holiday party. One of our traditions was to make a homemade holiday ornament for our guests as a "party favor" so to speak. We always tried to put a local flavor representing something in the State we were living in. It was easy to come up with something different while moving every 1 to 3 years while in the Coast Guard, but when I retired in 2007 to PA, it got more challenging. One year I did Google search for covered bridge photos and found the Rupert Bridge in winter. It was a perfect choice for that year's holiday party favor and since I had an electronic copy of the bridge photo, it was perfect for my BY Avatar. In July 2020 we moved (in the midst of COVID...what were we thinking????) to Maryland to be closer to family. I decided to keep my Boneyard name and the Avatar. [/QUOTE]
