Covered bridge in the NH mountains!

Found to have a unique solution by valerie.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

I used line and color logic until I got stuck, then used edge logic in row 10, looking from right to left at where I could place the 5, looking at its effects on row 8. That let me rule out some of the spaces on the right-hand side of line 10, and then it was back to line and color logic for the rest of the puzzle.

Thanks Valerie!

I got what Valerie got (I'm amused this came up randomly for me 3 years after Valerie's comment,) but then I noticed patterns about the edge logic.

Alternate solution: Line/color logic to 89%. R7C7-10 not being green creates a contradiction in row 10, since R7-10 would be green dot dot green. Then, line/color logic.
