The bridge ? Deer Isle bridge in Maine (near Bar Harbor. I went to a high society summer camp in Maine in my early teens for several years. My parents got rid of me, grandparents paid for it so I would connect with 'the right people', but I didn't, because they were all jerks...
I recall walking across that bridge many times, looking down through the expanded mesh pedestrian deck at the waters 100 feet below, and feeling the bridge shudder in the wind and the stays and cables 'sing' their song of doom. Talk about your adrenaline rush !
