Swinging Bridges

Going to the waterfall was so fun we decided to go on another little adventure. It had probably been 14 years since I last hiked at swinging bridges. We left Dylan behind with Grandpa James since this was going to be a much longer hike than before. A few things have changed since we were there last. We now have to pay to get in to the area to hike (thank goodness Richard had over $10 in quarters in his truck) and the rope swing at the very end of the trail is gone.


There are two swinging bridges along the hike and you feel a little like your on an Indiana Jones movie when you are crossing them (or at least I do). We had to hold on tight because most everyone jumped up and down and tried to shake the bridge as we crossed it.
At the end of the hike is some very cold water you can jump into. I chose not to but the rest of my family did. Here is Richard doing one of his many dives that afternoon. (Doesn't he look graceful like a swan.)

If you are going to go on a hike you really can't beat hiking through the jungle. I had to take this picture of David and Suzie enjoying their time on the hike.
The hike isn't that far from Richard's parents house so we all piled in Richard's truck for a fun ride.
