it was still windy but not as cold. since it was such a beautiful day, a lot of other people had the same idea as us. let’s walk on the bridge. we started on the north end of the bridge. when you get on the bridge it’s so invigorating and beautiful. breathtaking. joyful. some areas are less windy than others. so it’s not like you are fighting the wind at all times.
it’s so amaizing to me that this enormus feat was even thought possible. then to build it, down to every last rivet being in the right place. mind boggling. brilliant. it’s a work of art. i loved it. did you know it is a national park? on the south side they have park rangers and a gift shop. I bought my postcard and stamped it. jerry bought his walking stick medallion like we do at all the parks.
and then we walked back. i don’t know how long it took, but i enjoyed every minute. except when the battery died on the camera. i couldn’t take a picture of us at the finish line.











Holy smokes! What an adventure! What pictures! We watched all the walkers when we drove across the bridge last month and I was fascinated. You guys make the most awesome memories!
we do have a few. I remember when we walked under a bridge too. today
we’re going to the Charles Shultz museum. lookout snoopy here we come.
You got me again, i wish i was there.
Hi Jill,
i just found out i was not log in so all the Anonymous comments i sent you or not?
I wondered where your handsome face was. I bet I get you again too. just wait until jerry catches a salmon in Alaska.
Never walked the bridge, but have driven across it.
How long is the bridge? Oh wait, let me open another browser and find out . . . .. . . . . . . . . . .Did you know there are 60,000 rivets in each tower? Wow. Oh, so the bridge is 1.7 miles long – so that’s a round trip of 3.4 miles. That’s like walking a 5K race. Bet you’ll sleep good tonight.
it’s much more fun to walk on it.
yep, we sure did.
