Big Trees, Swinging Bridges
Sunday afternoon was a time to see some of the beautiful country around Northern Idaho. (The picture above is at Cabinet Gorge.) On the sight seeing docket was “Ross Creek Cedars”, a conservation area with virgin timber. We wandered through the giant cedars in an almost “other-worldly” atmosphere. Grand and awe-inspiring! http://www.libby.org/homepage/RossCreek/.
The next stop was Kootenai Falls. http://www.libby.org/homepage/KFalls/. This was another example of Nature’s beauty - the waterfall is spectacular.
The other attraction at this area is the Swinging Bridge. I get freaked out by heights - but to be a good trooper I crossed the bridge with the rest of our group. Going over was not too bad, but once across the bridge there is no choice but to go back across it. Going back was bad - some impatient tourists at the other end started across while I was in the middle, hanging out in space over the water swirling below. I had a bit of a melt-down. So I need to work on overcoming that fear - like tackling the swinging bridge at Tullalah Gorge (the nearest to home) this coming summer - maybe…
