re: Have you ever been scared driving over a bridge?

Riding over two telephone polls spanning a 10 foot drop is interesting. We had a crossing like that at the old Star Hill property in St Francisville.
Fell off a similar road board bridge. It was wet and the front tires slid off. The rear end was swinging around and tipping the Jeep over as I tried to back up the hill off the bridge. So I just drove the rear tire into the middle as well. Tried to just power across but not enough traction in the muck with the weight of the Jeep on the other right side road board.
The pass side off the axles were on the one side of the bridge and the tires sunk in the muck between the two boards spanning the crossing. My son looked at me and said, "I think were stuck." Lol. Luckily there was a tree within about 40 feet. If I didn't have a snatch block I would've been there a while. 8000 lbs wasn't cutting it. 16,000 did the trick, but it was a slow pull.
