At least 1300 miles round trip.
We drove my big American car.
It was quite an adventure!
I took a friend with me. We took turns driving.
On his turn, we were halfway there and...
he crashed the car...
Luckily it was an old Dodge (think Al Bundy)
A tow truck came along and drug the car out of the mud back onto the road and we drove it the rest of the way without incident.
At one point in the journey I come to this bridge.
So I am driving along at 75 mph over this nice smooth bridge which if irc has 4 lanes total, 2 for each direction.
After 3 minutes of driving over this bridge I am like "man, this is the longest bridge ever! We've gone over 3 miles and I still can't see the end of the bridge!" (A normal HUGE bridge is around .5 miles or less.) So I keep driving...
and driving...
hmmm...
After 10 minutes we are still on the same bridge, there is no end in sight! I'm like "uhhh... crap... I think we are in the twilight zone. This can't be happening."
I have no choice but to keep driving...
and driving...
and driving...
After 15 minutes I am like "Dude, this is impossible. There is no bridge in existence that is over 15 freaking miles long! So, obviously I killed us in a car crash on this bridge and now I am condemned to drive it for all eternity without stopping :-("
We continue on...
My friend who is a hardcore atheist starts contemplating converting to religion...
After 20 minutes we are sweating and suffering anxiety.
We start to negotiate: "This bridge we are experiencing feels 100% real. Therefore it must be real. Therefore we are still alive, possibly in a coma, remembering our real bridge crossing... or something..."
After 25 minutes we start to wonder what happens if we run out of gasoline and we are stuck here in the middle of nowhere on a bridge that doesn't exist.
After around half an hour we FINALLY reached the end of the bridge! Hallelujah! Whew! We were like "well I guess we woke up from our coma"
Days later when we got home I grabbed my almanac and looked it up and it was listed as the longest bridge in the world, over 34 miles long! But I never would have known it was there if it wasn't for the Amiga megacomputer.
