Read about my road trip >>> I’m in NYC just over the Hudson River having crossed the George Washington Bridge. This is a very busy part of the ride.

Making Hot Dogs and Building Bridges
If I knew how bridges were built would I be less afraid to cross them?. If I saw a bridge actually being built would that help me overcome my fear?
