Pedestrian Bridges

Postby Bethers » Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:16 pm

Here's a link to some neat bridges - only 3 are in the US, I've walked across the one in Chicago. Sent Liz and Nan the link to the one in NY - I'd love to do that one. And one day will hope to do both it and the 3rd. I love these kinds of lists even if they do make me add to my ever growing list of things to see and do.

Those are neat, Beth! Heights don't bother me and I would love to see any of those.

Those are beautiful, Beth. But I'll tell ya ... on some I'd have to crawl on my hands and knees. Heights and all that. :lol: :lol:

Those are great! I especially liked the one in Canada. As long as it's not a swinging bridge, I have a problem with those.

You were kind of swinging on the suspension bridges in Branson. You handled that just fine, as I remember.

I couldn't have fallen off of those if I tried. I was talking about the ones in Mexico with only a rope to hold onto. On one side.
