    Want to take a walk? (Not for those afraid of heights!)

    I hate heights so I received this today from my nasty old brother-in-law! It is amazing!

    OMG, I only made it to the first set of stairs before I started to get
    sick. I'll try again later.....maybe.

    If you notice the one guy, the camera person passed, had on harness gear with clips (carabineers) to keep himself clipped to the cord that ran along the side of the mountain. But apparently the camera person did NOT have that going on and they were walking pretty fast. My guess on the parts where there was no path, they balanced themselves with one hand against the mountain (maybe) and walked across just the pipe. That would be the most difficult part for me.
    I'd have to say the person that filmed this has walked that path many times.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Very cool video! I've been on hiking trails that are narrow like that with a big drop off on the side......but I wouldn't dare do that, there's no way I'd walk across just the bars where sections of the pathway are missing. If the trail was repaired entirely and had a rail on the side all the way I'd walk on it.

    Pam,
    I could not watch the whole video.
    I was starting to feel light headed. lol
    (I am afraid of heights too.) I walked up the windy stairs of the Statue
    of Liberty and almost did not make it down.)
    When I was younger my X and I walked up one of the trails at
    Yosemite Natl Park. and I was crawling up part of the way on my hands and knees because I was afraid to stand. lol

    That was too scary to watch even with someone else doing it. I stopped at about 1:35 when there was a big gap with no concrete. I can't believe they did that walk and filmed it while doing so.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    That creeped me out more than I thought it would cause I normally don't react to videos the same as I would if it were in "real life". But I caught myself holding my breath a couple times and wincing!!

    I could do that if I wanted to. I just don't want to. Yeah. I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm going to send this link to my son. He probably won't even be able to watch it. When we went to the the Grand Canyon, he was a real dud. He wouldn't go to the rail and look down. He may as well have stayed home.
    Blessings,
    Mary
