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.
We've been together for 52+ years. Like your comment "great partner," etc. But I'll be going before her with my lung disease (no, not cancer - IPF). We live about 5 miles from the grandkids (5 mile rule ) so that works really good.

There is a lot of boat traffic on these rivers... commercial.
Footnote: this river (Kanawha) is the one that you have been seeing on TV News over the last 4 or 5 days... 300,000 people over 9 countys without potable water due to a chemical spill in Charleston, WV

The water looks inviting here... watching the boats moving up and down the rivers gave me dreams of seeing other places when I was young.
Truck campers are better.. they climb mountains too ;>)

Sometime the name that we called the Park 60 or 70 years ago "Cheif Cornstalk" Park has become "Tu-Endie-Wei" Park
I don't like it when history changes... then it's not history.
"They" named a nearby wildlife preserve after the cheif... it's actually a hunting preserve... I guess the wildlife is being preserved for hunters (Hey... I was raised, huntin for food... prefer rabit to squirrel, I like deer but ate an awfull loy of it growing up.
