Sundial bridge is a part of the Turtle Bay Exploration park and is classified as is a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge, which basically means that it is safe to walk on. The deck of the bridge is made of some sort of glass panels which I doubt you’d be able to break by jumping on it repeatedly.

Keep Calm and Visit the Weed Store

Posted on January 11, 2019January 21, 2019 by Vanda

Google Android Lawn Statues

Posted on January 11, 2019January 21, 2019 by Vanda

Like most road trippers, I stop at weird attractions. The bigger the better. There’s a lot of love for chili peppers here because it is used in New Mexican cuisine. Stop by the Big Chile Inn in Las Lunas, New Mexico to show your love for this spicy fruit.
