Mackinac Bridge
Michigan

Some drivers get so nervous about crossing this five-mile-long bridge that they don't even go. And this happens so often that the Mackinac Bridge Authority will drive your car or motorcycle for you (and for free). The biggest fear is the wind, which often exceeds 30 miles per hour on the bridge. Where: Between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Stats: 5 miles long; 199 feet above the water....

Oh, even reading about it sends chills...
