A 300 watt tubular halogen bulb operated at full power quickly reaches a temperature of about 540 Â°C (1,004 Â°F), while a 500 watt regular incandescent bulb operates at only 180 Â°C (356 Â°F) and a 75 watt regular incandescent at only 130 Â°C (266 Â°F).
Parke County is home to 31 covered bridges. The covered bridge festival, Indiana's largest festival, always starts on the 2nd Friday in October is nationally known as one of the largest. Around Town.
In comparison, Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge (built in 1866) has a length of 449 feet (without approaches) and spans the Connecticut River between New Hampshire and Vermont. It's total measurement without approaches gives it the title. Medora is the last remaining triple span covered bridge in the state of Indiana. My family took the time to walk the entire bridge from one side to the other. There is a small parking pad on the East side of the bridge and a larger area on the West side of the bridge complete with a few picnic tables and shade trees.
