Here is a photo of a floating Bridge in Brookfield, VT. You have to drive "into" the water. :shock: The bridge is supported by barrels under the wooden planks. In the center of the bridge, the depth is not determined. I have a fear of bridges, and being a passenger in the car was difficult, especially when we had to go BACK over it! I couldn't decide what would be worse, staying in the car or actually walking over it. At least while I was in the car, "nature coulnd't touch me" but being inthe car could have been a "death trap" if one of the barrels didn't do it's job.

I have to give you credit! I do not think I would have stayed in the car ... :headshake:

I also forget to mention that you can "hear" the barrels kicking around while you are driving over them. :shock:

I couldn't have crossed it! It's too close to one of my childhood nightmares!

It's kind of funny... as much as I love covered bridges...

I hate bridges. I don't like driving over them. Don't like going over them. If I was going to do this one, I think it would have to be by foot. At least then I feel I have a fighting chance if something happens.

That did not help me any Matt! :lol: :shrug:. I might think about walking over it ... but I would never go over it in a car!

I bet that this is going to be fun to cross after all the rain we have been getting. :shock:
