My favorite is the Alligator River Bridge along the ICW.* They have a high winds restriction and if you don't get through..boy it REALLY interupts your ICW plans.* The guys when you call them on the phone act like you are family they are so nice and cooperative.* Can't ask for more than that!!!Moonstruck wrote:psneeld wrote:

*Maybe because they see so many of us and so many of us are reasonable and polite on the radio....either way...they do seem to be very cooperative!
