That's the Causeway Bridge! And actually I go over that bridge quite often. It's really not that bad...it takes about 20 minutes. The lady I babysit
for works across the lake, so she travels it twice a day, 5 days a week, as well as some friends of mine who live over there but go to school over here on the
southshore. Last week, she had the kids in camp over there, and I had to go pick them up from her twice. Honestly, the only bad thing about crossing the bridge
is that I get soooo sleepy every time I'm on it.

sleep but she didn't sleep at all so she made me drive because she wanted to sleep in the back. I remember being sleep deprived driving over it, trying to
pay attention with my hands tight around the steering wheel. At one point, I almost ran into the side of the road and I just about died (as in heart attack,
not driving over). But it was a road and the poles and suspension and everything was below. It was this HUGE valley or gorge, I don't know what you'd
call it.

The only thing that would make it kinda cool is if there is no traffic on it and you sped really fast.
 But yeah...I would be tense as hell driving through
that.

Why is this a 3-page-thread and why are you all freaking out?

I've been on that bridge 5 jillion times.
Growing up, my mom lived on one side and my dad lived on the other. Also, I have to drive over like, the
second longest bridge to get to my dad's house from Texas.

I should think that would be a boring thing to drive across.

I'd die having to go over that. I get panic attacks near large bodies of water, and yeah. I'd probably have a heart attack.

Dude, I'm the type of person that -- that would get in my head so bad while I was on it that I'd snap somewhere in my mind and go off the edge of it
without trying just from the panic and stress of it.

That makes what Kelli posted look like a carnival ride! I'll take the Pontchartrain thing over that any day.
