Heavy Legs and a Beat Away From Death!

Our next stop on our little journey of insanity was a road side railroad track just down the road from the Rising Fawn cemetery. From the road all you can see is the tracks and our whole reason for stopping was for the railroad bridge. Once we got up on the tracks we noticed that there was a little creek running under the bridge and some great fall colors along the water.

The perfect spot to get great shots of the creek and trees was from the middle of the railroad bridge. The bridge, however, had 1 foot gaps between the ties. Rachel and I found out that we're big chickens because neither one of use could walk across it. Something about the fear of dropping our cameras (even though they were securely strapped around our necks) and the fact that if your foot went down one of those gaps you'd be trapped forever. The view of the creek flowing through the gaps didn't help much either. My longest length traveled was a good 5 feet, which I'm really proud of by the way. Rachel made it a good 3 or 3 1/2 feet before screaming for dear life and turning back. Ricki on the other hand seemed to have no problem what so ever with it, and if you'll notice in the photo, she doesn't even have her $6,000 camera around her neck!

I'll be blogging on the railroad, all the live long day.... (better sang than read)
