The slits between the planks in the the Royal Gorge Bridge almost did me in. I'm not sure I could even get on this one. But the idea sounds nice.

I took the train ride that goes under the bridge, just a week or so after a BASE jumper died jumping from it (struck his head on part of the bridge as he jumped).

How long ago did you go to Royal Gorge? I was there almost thirty years ago, and thought it was very cool. Fortunately, I don't have a terrible fear of heights. The best thing was the sign about halfway across that said "No Fishing Off Bridge" (1500 feet down to river, IIRC).

Hah! Same experience here. I remember getting wobbly about halfway across it.
