Andy did not want to drive over the Dames Point Bridge today. But there aren't too many choices when driving through Jacksonville. The Dames Point Bridge is a stunning suspension bridge, but it's height and it's low guard rails can make it a little nerve racking on a good day.
Today the road was slick and the winds were gusting...and the bridge was under construction. And, NOAA's Weather Band had warnings for small craft and high profile vehicles (that's us!). So, when we realized that we were just minutes behind this accident, it made us even more uncomfortable. (We're not sure what happened here, but we're assuming a wind gust might've pushed this truck towing a boat into the construction barrier. The boat was off the trailer and on top of the concrete barrier, and the truck is obviously facing the wrong way.)
Our plan was to just drive 100 miles today because the winds were only expected to get worse. We normally don't choose to drive on days like this, but wanted to make some distance. Planning on spending two nights in Brunswick.
