I first crossed it when I was 10 years old, half-asleep on a long road trip with my parents, and I remember a sudden rush of terror and adrenaline as we edged closer and closer to the water�s surface - not enough to wake me up, but enough to freeze still my contorted and trembling face. I was suddenly sure we were all going to die, and the preparatory scream was stuck in my throat.
