Very Close Nikonian72. Taken thru the boards on a bridge. The bridge had boards to drive across. I can't believe I did drive a car across that. I will post a pic of the bridge and the boards.

I wasn't even close! I would never have guessed Royal Gorge Bridge. Great idea!

Been there several times! One time due to a storm they had to cancel everything and closed both the tram and the bridge traffic for about an hour. This pleased my wife immensely, but made me a little unhappy. But we got to see some friends from our home town whom we probably would have missed except for the storm.

One of the most interesting assignments I ever had in my photography business was to climb to the top of the towers where the huge cable bundles pass over the tower 'saddle' and take pictures of the wear on the cables. Temperature variation changes the length of the cables that support the bridge so they 'move' back and forth over the saddles causing wear. I remember it was in winter and I got all the way to the top and my Canon A1 was good for 3 shots and the battery was so cold it went dead! I had to climb down, get my Canon F1 and climb back up with the F1 under my down parka to protect the battery, I then could finish my shooting task. It was something I will never forget because it MORE THAN 1053 FEET to the Arkansas when you are hanging from the top of those towers!
