I was visiting from Phx but I am a displaced NYer from LI. I had not been to Tarrytown since a kid with my Uncle driving and I think back then we took a long way around anyway coming down from the Bear Mtn bridge. Going over the Tappanzee/Cuomo bridge in an unfamiliar rental car was terrifying. It is so high!

You can always try the Astoria–Megler Bridge that spans the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, between Astoria, Oregon, and Point Ellice near Megler, Washington. Opened 55 years ago in 1966, it is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.

It’s only 4 miles long

Or a truckload of 55 gallon drums of machining fluid that I used to deliver. Especially in winter when those high winds kicked in. Good times 😛😮😮
