This place is unbelievable – I walked across the bridge and looked down (way the hell down!) to the river below. I tried to imagine what it would be like to see a kayak going by and what the kayaker’s view up would be. I tried not to notice how much the bridge vibrated when trucks drove by. I tried not to think about how freaking many trucks there were. And I tried to make it all the way across before I had a heat stroke.

Oh, and I took some photos, too.
