Bunker Hill Covered Bridge
Bridge
πŸ‘πŸ‘ We took this as a quick break from I-40. Literally minutes off the highway. A very short walk from a small parking area to the bridge. There were other trails. However, we were only there to rest, stretch our legs, and ease on down the road.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I see a lot of bad reviews on this place, but I have no idea why. The burgers are a touch pricey, but that's the cost of goods nowadays and the burgers they sell here are HUGE. I got a double, and I could barely finish it! The food is excellent, it's hard to find a great diner-style burger. The cri...

Chinese restaurant
🫀 While their food is pretty good, they have upgraded our portions to large every time we have ordered without asking. Unfortunately we don’t order there often enough to remember this trick and correct them. So we have decided to boycott them from now on. It’s totally worth the extra 5 min drive to go...
