Editing Blount County, Alabama (section)

==Places of interest==
Blount County is home to an abundance of outdoor activities, such as [[Rickwood Caverns State Park]] and the [[Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River]] that are used by canoeists and kayakers. The county is also home to the picturesque covered bridges mentioned below: the [[Swann Covered Bridge]], the [[Horton Mill Covered Bridge]], and the [[Easley Covered Bridge]]. As of summer 2009, all three bridges were closed due to safety concerns at the recommendation of the Alabama Department of Transportation. Restorations were completed from 2011 through 2013 and they are once again open.<ref>http://www.blountcountian.com/news/2010-02-17/News/Citizen_concerns_prompt_covered_bridge_update.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708074812/http://www.blountcountian.com/news/2010-02-17/News/Citizen_concerns_prompt_covered_bridge_update.html |date=July 8, 2011 }} Retrieved June 20, 2010</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.alabamapower.com/2013/05/21/covered-bridges-back-in-business/ |title= |website=news.alabamapower.com |access-date=August 15, 2013}}{{title missing|date=May 2022}}</ref>
