Videos can't compare to driving across the many engineering marvels
of spectacular bridges and feeling the wind in my fingers. Our favorites
were the Florida's Seven Mile Bridge, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel
(17.6 miles), and the John A. Roebling Bridge in Cincinnati spanning
over the Ohio River to Covington, Kentucky, once the longest suspension
bridge in the world until Roebling designed the Brooklyn Bridge.
