  2. Nope! I used to love swinging bridges as a child, but no more! That video made it clear why!

  3. I always admired the covered bridges! Swinging on a bridge? no way, Jose! (It is fun to say Chattanooga)

  5. Swinging bridges always gave me the creeps as a kid! I remember crossing one once and feeling like I was on a boat in a storm. I haven’t been on one since, but I might be tempted to give it another try now that I’m older.

    Speaking of bridges, the memorable bridge I know of (not seen in person) is from the Meryl Streep-Clint Eastwood movie, The Bridges of Madison County.

  6. A covered bridge from Vermont was one of the first postcards I got through the Postcrossing site. Before that, I didn't know they were so famous (or were exactly Vermont is!).

    I thought I had already added my link!
