Carry Janet to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. Her fear of bridges will be cured.

I road across that bridge with our family in 1957. I drove across it February 1974 and made the first tracks in the snow.

You can still drive across after paying a fee, but it is mainly just open to foot traffic.

JumboJet, When you say, "Carry Janet to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. Her fear of bridges will be cured."

I don't think you understand a couple of things.

1) She experiences shear terror at the thought of falling... I never noticed it before the Silver Bridge fell but it has gotton a lot worse over the years... to the point of near panic attacks depending on the situation. Like shaky bridges and small airplanes....

2) We have been married almost 51 years... I don't want to lose her... we are seldom more than 10 feet apart. She is a great partner, manages our $$, makes sure I take my meds, loves me in spite of me being me.... unconditional... and I love her completely.

If I were to put her in harms way in order to "teach" her a lesson I would lose her...

... and if I lost Janet I'd lose me too. I couldn't live without her!

Footnote: Most of our Truck Camper friends are that close to their spouses. We are among the lucky ones... we still have our original spouses and love them more with each passing day, each passing year.

On the right you can barely see where the Kanawha River is merging with the Ohio River and the Ohio River Bridge

You can see the Kanawha River bridge in the trees on the left.

I like the monument... so you get to have another look with me. We don't honor our heros and special places like this now-a-days.
