OT, but relevant to acrophobia. Many, many years ago my oldest son at age 8 decided to climb a tree. Like many young boys, he was a daredevil without fear. He climbed about 50 feet up the tree and then looked down. At that point he got what is known as the "death grip" on the tree and was scared to come down. This lasted about 20 minutes. There was no way I could safely climb up and get him. My wife was about to call the Fire Department. I went and got my chainsaw and hollered up to my son that I was going to cut the tree down because there was no other way to get him down. I had no intention of cutting the tree down, but he didn't know that. As soon as I fired up the chainsaw he yelled to stop because he was coming down, and he did just that. As he dropped off the bottom limb, about 5 feet from the ground, my wife began to yell at him. I quickly raised my finger to my lips for her to stop. My son had just conquered his "fear" and I began to congratulate him. I created a significant emotional event in his mind that forced him to use reasoning rather than listening to the fear in his sub-conscience. As the saying goes "there's nothing to fear, but fear itself".

That is a fun one!

Two way traffic on a two lane tunnel with semi's coming the other direction.

Now to my question. I live in Texas where they design highway overpasses and bridges that go into the upper-stratosphere and I get super nervous on those things in my daily driver. I want to avoid them entirely when towing the TT. I've read on this forum how good RV GPS apps (Garmin, CoPilot RV, etc) are, but do any models have a way to avoid these super steep and tall highway overpasses and bridges?

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to the journey.

Interstates are probably the safest route even if it’s a long drop. Just keep the CROSSWINDS in check!
