Let's Go For a Walk
 

First, the tram ride up to the trailhead:

Looks like fun. NOT!!!!

WOW! Where is this?

that made me ill just looking at the pictures...

I'll make sure not to go there next week.

Oh hell no.

I have a SEVERE problem with heights. Not afraid of them at all. I just get this really strong urge to jump.

Directions: So you make a left turn....

Antisocial refuge.

i was wondering where those locks went. wonder if they want the keys?:rolleyes:

Reminds me of climbing Mt. Champlain in Acadia in Maine.

Only about 100 times smaller.

The tram ride is more frightening...

Good grief.
don't stand below either.

My wife says that... What in the world is wrong with you two? :)

I don't run into very many people who understand this, but it looks like you do. And the best reason for the urge I can come up with is "because I can." For this reason, I might be agreeable to go onto the flat roof of a very tall building, but I won't go to the edge.

I get the same feeling....very strange.

Well, friggin' fantastic! Each time I turn on my computer, I'll now have vertigo!

Thanks. :mad:

Some acrophobics also suffer from urges to throw themselves off high places, despite not being suicidal.

I'm 5' tall, I just have a fear of being tall. ;)

Reminds me of the cables on Half Dome at Yosemite. Pretty fun.

Yeah, but you photograph taller.

BTW, Scott: remember I was asking about your Boxster for a friend at work? Well, she bought (or leased) a new Bimmer roadster instead. I actually can't stand the car. It's black and ugly - in fact phallic in its ugliness.

But I guess some girls are into that. :D

Jumping wouldn't be the problem.

Reaching the bottom and stopping - that's the bit that's tricky.

I've heard that some sky divers/base jumpers fail to open their chutes for no apparent reason/malfunction. Perhaps this might explain it?

I'm hoping one of our world travelling Pelicans can tell us more about this. Like where the hell it is. So I don't ever go there.

I'm worried that it might be in China. I get to see plenty of mechanical components that have come out of China and they are scary. the thought of walking over something like that, if it's made to the same standards, is terrifying.

I think I know someone we could send over to check it out....

He'll be too bow-legged to fit on the walkway by the time Kurt V is done with him.

If he finds that he doesn't fit on the walk-way then that's fine by me!


I just hope he's part way across at the time.

What about the schmucks that carried the building materials up there. Wow.

Mt. Huashan (Hua mountain) near Xian in China (http://www.dreamshangrila.com/scenery/huamt.html)

Sorry to disagree, but I think that looks like fun!

I have to agree, that looks like a freakin' blast. Damn! I need to visit China.

Wherever that is, I betcha a Starbucks won't be too far away.

OK, now my mouse hand is sweaty.http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/draai.gif

I have leased out the building in this picture and getting a frachise deal from starbucks as we speak.

and yes I would go up there.

I wonder what the weight limit is...
