Have you ever watched Bridge to Terabithia (2007)? Great! We haven’t! But lucky you because we’re gonna go to NOWHEREBITHIA. Nowherebithia is truly a magical place with a cool ass bridge and oh boy are we going to take the bridge to Nowherebithia. On the way to the Bridge of Nowherebithia, there will be many a river crossing (your feet might get wet haha), and there might be lush greenery (there is greenery, cannot confirm if it is lush). This is going to be a long day hike (not worth missing) and, most importantly, after the trip you can tell everyone you went to Nowherebithia! Wow.
