When I first moved to Alaska, I roomed with two other gals, one from Homer and the other from Renton Washington. The gal from Homer had a green volkswagon bug with no reverse. I dont remember all the details but one wintery day the WA gal and I drove from Homer to Anchorage. I was driving the other was taking a nap, which was a good thing because she didnt get scared like I did. Driving in the dark across this bridge, on the icy road, the bug started to fishtail, my only thought was we are going to go over the rail and die, of course that didnt happen we made it safely to Anchorage, but I have always been scared of that bridge and every time driving over it I would slow way down. Well now there is a different bridge to drive over, but I still slow way down. So last weekend I stopped and took the dog for a walk across that bridge for the first time ever, didnt look as bad as in did that cold dark winter night many years ago. The other first time was to see a bore tide in the inlet, I had never seen one all these years driving back and forth, so I made a point to drive up just to see, well it was a bit of a dissapointment, the conditions werent really right for a good show, still worth the drive.
