Sorry but I can't helpl wish I could. When I was growing up, going
to Sylamore would have been like going to Little Rock (my parents didn't
have a vehicle) and I was never at Sylamore very much. I go by there
ocassionally now on my way to Mtn. View but I'm not familiar with the
swinging bridge, altho I have heard about it.
