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

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

I found an interesting postcard blog, I thought I'd share with you all. https://myhipstory.com/2024/09/25/he-was-here-last-eve-capturing-girlhood-and-family-bonds-in-a-1909-postcard/

thank you for this link. I have been known to pick up postcards based on the message on the back. :)

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.

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!
