the chesapeake bay bridge/tunnel. very cool to drive over and under. there's no high rails to obscure the view so it sorta feels like you're skimming on the water and then you just plunge underneath it.

we've also go quite a few small wooden covered bridges still left in rural PA, they're always neat to drive on

I don't know if it's still like that,but I used to live in Ports & have a motorcycle
shop there.The grates on that bridge,are so crooked that if you start on one
side of the bridge(on a motorcycle),that by the time that you reach the other
side,you will be completly accross the lane.I'm referring to the bridge that goes from Ports(State ST)to Kittery.Not the interstate! Irish :)
P.S.Just FYI(not a complaint)

With my fear of heights & an odd paranoia about crossing bodies of water in general, any bridge that would register in my mind as "memorable" would be something that I try to block out...

Coupled with the fact I've seldom traveled more than a few hundred miles from home, not many rise to memorable except for making me feel like I'm way too high from terra firma to be comfortable...

My first and top choice would be this small covered bridge in Vermont that I found down some lane. I was lost at the time. My second choice would be the Golden Gate bridge...going from the City to Sausalito. (Okay...I'll throw in Muir Woods as a side trip.)

"Bridge Crossings" Be they; romantic,serene, or even sur-real,to "bridge", is to connect two points,divided by a spacial gap,ie;road to road, concious to sub-concious, light side to Dark side, Pleasure to Pain, point A to point B, is merely that transitional place where 2 are joined as 1 continual..each crossing memorable to each person unto themselves,But far and beyond the most memorable "Bridge" is the "Bridges that We BURN". Those are the most affecting,due to once crossed,like it or not, there will be NO crossing back...and so,,,there you are,,,take care of one another....Crazeee;)

The bridges burned sear our souls. The effect leaves a void for some and a scar for others and a place where new bridges can be built for a rare few. I've learned to not burn my bridges. Rather, I hold dear the fonder of memories and try to realize a new wisdom in the pains of my passing less favored thoughts.

We cross many Bridges in our lives,some repeatedly,some but once,,,,I think the most influential Bridge in our lives we cross,we cross continuely,In fact you are crossing yours at this very moment,as I...Its this Bridge between reality and Cyber, we cross it with this "PC" vehicle,most dont realize the spatial distance,time and generations crossed with a single keystroke,or click of a mouse.Not to mention the incomprehensible union of digital media science,providing each of us with information, that is sometimes the most cutting edge, up to the moment knowledge available, and yet can be wisedom of the ages,timeless, going back thousands of years and bringing us history of the periods inquired of,ie; images of cave drawings,from the dawn of man, quotations of great philosophers,like Plato,centuries old art influences like Da Vinci, Mysteries of ancient civilizations,the great Pyramids,aztec ruins,providing a great "Bridge"of knowledge, Which quite possibly is the most memorable "Bridge" thus far....Be kind to each other...Crazeee;) :fix: :doorpeek: :noob:
