BRIDGE DAY!

Yes, once again I am going to grab a couple friends and drag them up to the festival and watch the BASE jumping idjits leap off a 876ft high bridge.

Image The Bridge

Isn't she pretty? I'm going to be one of those teeming hundreds walking across the mile-long deck and gawking at the views down below. Not to mention enjoying the festival booths on either side of the bridge.

:twisted: Hotfoot? Marcao? Wanna come?
Cyncat? Charon? Either of you?

One full mile from end to end. 876 feet above the river. You can stack the Washington Monument and 2 Statue of Libertys atop it underneath that arch.


It's the largest/longest steel single arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere. (used to be in the world... damn Singapoore)

I'll tell you what I tell my kids. Gravity wins. Gravity always wins. It is not wise to tempt Gravity.
