Souris Manitoba


We stopped off in Souris manitoba for one night of camping and at least it wasn't raining. It was a beautiful night..and yes I crossed the bridge...twice..the first time not so fun because some kids were behind me swinging it on purpose. the photo shown here is the swinging bridge. I'm standing on another bridge looking at it.
Built in 1904, the Souris bridge is one of the best-known long-span 'catwalk style' swinging bridges in North America. Patrick reports the 582-foot total length spans over nine piers making ten separate spans. The longest clear span is 242 feet. Of course you're just walking over planks..so it gives you a different feeling especially right in the middle.
anyway the rest of the souris gallery is here:
