Deception Pass bridge going to Whidbey Island Washington driving a a heavy box truck pulling a car trailer, and sparks flying around the turns against the guardrail.
When my dad was stationed at Langley we went across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel system. When you are only 9 or 10 years old, it's scary as heck.

The old version of the Pack Saddle bridge in Western Oklahoma at night. My first time and met a Semi.
Been across that one in Tishomingo. (probably in 1958 so may have been closed to cars for decades now (?)
I didn't care much for the pontoon bridge the Army made me cross in a deuce 1/2. The worst one, though was Royal Gorge. The first time when we were about half way across a big heavy Pepsi-Cola truck came across and I was sure it was more than that rattling, swaying bridge could take. I guess I was wrong, because here I am, alive and telling about it. The picture is from my 2nd crossing of Royal Gorge.
We got to watch some dudes bungee jump off that bridge in my youth. Turns out, it was a one-off event and not open to everyone. We did go back and zip line though. Not the thrill I expected it to be, but beautiful and serene.
Here is the "other perspective." We rode the Royal Gorge train one year, and this picture was taken from the open car of the train.
Phantom Canyon Road between Cripple Creek and Canon City. Single lane dirt road through two or three tunnels and a curving old wooden rickety bridge. It was 1983 and my college roommate and I were in Canon City for Geology field camp. The first time we drove that road it was at night. We had NO CLUE and were driving it like the country roads of Oklahoma. The next time we drove it was in the day and we were scraping the side on one side and kicking rocks off the cliff on the other.
LMAO, this is the baby. We regularly drove the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel to Virginia Beach. Once went across it in a storm at night. the swells would disappear from view in the lights then raise high enough to splash when they hit the deck. I hated that night.
