    Even the bad weather in your journey is still worth filming, it adds authenticity. Not everyday is full of sunshine.

    I loved crossing that bridge going northbound in 1994. I still remember that to this day. It's was breathtaking.

    You went the long way, but the views are worth it. The trip around the bay is just beautiful.

    I bicycled across that bridge on my Seattle to San Francisco bike tour 16 years ago. Crossing that bridge on was one scary ride.

    Russ , The bridge was great - continuous rain in Washington brought back a lot of memories ( and some great afternoon naps ) . Be Safe

    Loved watching your take on some of the sights here in Washington. Come back anytime and stay for a while. Lots more to see.

    This bridge was built in 1965-66. My father was an ironworker who drove rivets on it.
    It was the wettest year of my life.

    I got a laugh when you realized the height of that bridge, it catches people off guard when traveling from the north. It's a bit of a white knuckler for sure. I've yet to cross it pulling the 5th wheel and not sure I ever want to. You're in western Oregon now, my neck of the woods.

    • @rvertv

    That's too funny Russ, I wondered what your thoughts would be on height of Astoria bridge, did you stop and check your shorts on the other side? Enjoying your travels, great videos, you and scub's travel safe, you will really enjoy Oregon coast.

    Hey, it ain't Washington if it doesn't rain! It was still pretty. Come southeast and take the bridge across Lake Pontchartrain outside of New Orleans! 24 miles long and was the longest bridge in the world. Not sure if it still is with Dubai taking over all the tallest, biggest, widest, etc. LOL But it's 24 miles long. It's a nightmare if there is a wreck on it. No place to get off, you just sit & wait it out!

      i drove that New Orleans bridge several times a few years ago... reminds me of the Fl keys

  • @bevn362

    Wow! That bridge is looooong, according to Wiki...Located 14 miles from the mouth of the river, the bridge is 4.1 miles long and was the last completed segment of U.S. Route 101 between Olympia, Washington, and Los Angeles, California. It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.

    • @rvertv
      @rvertv  8 лет назад

      it was quite a adventure crossing it

    • @bevn362

      “Longest continuous truss” refers to the length of the main span between the towers, which is 1232 feet.
