Le Pont de la Caille

This suspension bridge was build in 1839 and it stands about 500 ft above the river-filled ravine below. It is a spectacular sight unless ...
... You're afraid of heights. As many of you know, Christina likes having both feet firmly on the ground - literally and figuratively. For Christina, having only a 2 x 4 between her feet and an unsuccesful base jump does a bit more than just raise her heart rate and make her palms sweaty. Notice how tighly she is holding Alex? That's for her benefit, not his.


Aren't spit wads the best?


Again, notice the death grip. Do Ruby and Alex look concerned?
Here is the bridge currently being used. The picture only captures about the top 1/3 of the canyon.
You can almost hear Christina saying, "Get me out of here!"
