Dragon,
I've always found that the views from the rotting bridge are much more astonishing and spectacular than the views from the car window. Turn the wipers off get out of the car and grab your umbrella it's raining, we're gonna get wet but the view is worth every effort. We may slip, break a board or two, but I assure you when we get there it'll be worth it!! You just have to make sure every step counts. Knowing the future would be counterproductive and in my opinion much worse because then you would not enjoy the now nearly as much.
Hang in there my friend...keep to the edge where the boards are supported they usually break in the middle.

We'll be here to help you cross the bridges as they come.

Cheers,
Mike
