The posting of the story is great. I really really don’t like the: OurStoryBridge logo! Holy cow what are you thinking/ The stories are about the Adirondacks and you have an URBAN suspended bridge as your logo????
How about a little wooden foot bridge? Or the floating Fulton-Chain bridges? Or a rustic board over a stream?
I get the connection–the metaphor. Your current logo image is counterintuitive to the place all the stories are about.
OK OK you want an urban to wilderness link? Then do it with part of a suspension bridge AND a log bridge. THINK ABOUT IT.
Agreed Jim, but I’ll go a step beyond the bridge itself and say it’s just plain UGLY. Looks like two people standing back to back and screaming at something….or someone.
I enjoyed hearing of your adventure. A current photo along with the original would be 😎 cool.
