What A View

It took my breath away just watching it. My wife and I got close to visiting this a few years ago, but it was raining so hard they shut down the little shuttle train.

Bill, this video caused me to relive climbing onto the mast of the ship I was on in the Navy to clean the radio antennae insulators. I was 90+ feet in the air, standing on a wire rope fastened to the underside of the mast, holding on to the mast with one arm and cleaning the insulator with a wire brush in the other hand. Oh, and it was below freezing and I couldn't feel my hands.
I don't think I'll watch this video a second time, but thanks for sharing it. I loved the cell phone call in the middle of the tech's work while he was sitting all the way out on the statue's outstretched hand. Nerves of steel.

I am pretty I could never do that!

Yesterday I climbed a ladder about 12 feet to get up in the rafters of a friend's garage and toss stuff down to him. I thought that was hard! (It certainly was a lot harder than when I was 20).
