The river below the bridge is only 9 feet deep. The bridge itself was taller than 9 feet, so the majority of cars stayed above water.
Ron - you cannot blame that collapse on my Cobra. I've never driven it across that bridge.
Regarding the grass in the back yard ... it was taken at a local Jr High school (excuse me, middle school to be PC correct). The school sits next to a swamp, and they have about 10 acres of open space that they mow. They just let the swamp grass/bushes grow tall around the edges.
I think it makes a great backdrop for pics.
