I can't tell from the shadows whether that camera is hand held or mounted to headgear. Either way its awfully steady. Major cajones if it is hand held. Or on a headset.

Well, if it weren't for the safety cable, that might just be anyone's last walk. Don't do it on a horse!
Thanks, Byron, I loved it! |

Caminito del Rey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Ground-level viewEl Caminito del Rey (English: The King's pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to El Camino del Rey. [edit] History In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway lasted four years. It was finished in 1905. In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name. In some places the walkway has collapsedThe walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway. The regional government of Andalusia budgeted in 2006 for a restoration plan[1] estimated at € 7 million.

A ranch in Oregon I baled hay for in the mid-70's had a non-running '59 sitting around (a Mach III Kawasaki also). Not sure I could find the place again.
