I left my heart.... in San Francisco. I almost left my hearing there, too. The wind and cold on that bridge is amazing. I made it out to the first pillar and the view down and outward was spectacular. Can't imagine the level of desperation which would allow someone to jump from there.

it's too bad lake Michigan is so deep. Building a bridge across the lake from Racine to Holland would really increase the economy in this area.

So it's a little over a 100 miles it would keep people working for a few years for sure.

Oh shit, reality just set in...it would cost to much, well maybe a couple more bridges across Root River.
