Thursday 13- Do these footbridges scare you??

When I was a little girl, we lived for a spell  in a house belonging to my uncle ..In inclement weather , the only way to get to it was by  foot over a  one person at a time swinging bridge over the Elk river in Wva. My wonderful grandparents and aunt navigated that   swinging  bridge held with rope in order to bring us food and [presents ..How brave they were  and city dwellers.Here are some terrifying  bridges around the world .Imagine carrying boxes over these??
Colorado




Viet Nam

Ours looked like this below but no handrails or ropes

    Scary! I've been on a few bridges in my time that were frightening, but these look absolutely terrifying.

    I feel a little queasy and wondered about your aunt and uncle crossing a bridge like that when they got old.

    Yeah...think I'll pass on those. I prefer something a bit more solid under my feet.

    They are very scary, but that wouldn't keep me off them. My dd, OTOH, is sitting here wincing just from the pictures.
