Ever done something oddly crazy and completely out of your daily life?
In my early twenties, I crossed the Mississippi River by what’s probably the most foolish way possible. If you’re not averse to a bit of criminal trespassing, one of the railway bridges connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul has a catwalk under it. If you do a DuckDuckGo image search for “catwalk under bridge”, you’ll see lots of solid construction with two sturdy railings. That was not my experience. I had a walk of old 2x10 planks and one quarter-inch cable strung between rusting metal poles.
For no reason I can now explain, I crossed the catwalk from Minneapolis to St. Paul at 2 in the morning with the river flowing at least 60 feet (80?) beneath me.
Wow! That's a cool one! :)
I'll have to write about the time I almost got hit by a train, pretty after that I am out of exciting stories. :)
