Bring your Land Rover and tour the picturesque countryside of Ashtabula County, Ohio, home to 19 covered bridges including the shortest and longest in the US. We’ll take time to enjoy the autumn air and autumn colors with stops at some of the bridges to sightsee. Wineries and orchards will be passed along the way. This is the perfect outing for your stock rover, your classic rover, or your beautiful modern rover that you don’t want to take offroad!
