Those of you that know me well, know I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS. That being said, I made a promise to myself years ago that I would never let the fear hold me back from fun..and I never have. Gondolas in the Alps, Airplanes, Ferris Wheels, Climbing Cliffs in New Mexico and hiking at high elevations.. I've done it and though I thought my heart would jump out of me, I kept going (mostly thanks to my cheerleader Jeff).
Today was one of those ignore the fear days.
I haven't felt well the last couple days but have been waiting a week to go on this cool hike by the Oregon Coast. It's a moderate hike and a little over 3 miles round trip. The thing is on this hike you have a beautiful view of a waterfall but one must cross a 100 ft high suspension(yeah the kind that moves...) bridge that is 3 feet wide and 240 feet long...ahem. I did it. I am glad. Did I take multiple trips back and forth..nope.
Us ready to walk across... and a big thank you to Greta, walking in front of me swinging the bridge side to side.

Big bonus... playing barefoot in the creek on our hike down.
