I’ve been on the skywalk. It is a neat creation.
It is also incredibly expensive, especially if you want pictures, since no electronics are allowed on the skywalk (they have a walkthrough metal detector to make sure).
The Hualapai are sticking it to the white man (no racism or offense intended).

A whole new reason to go. You can hock a loogie that will travel all the way down without hitting the canyon wall.

Those deadbeats owe my sales partners about 13K for ticket printing equipment, so, yeah, that's spot on.

OK, who is going to be the first “jumper”? What? It's open at the top? Oh - no way, no how. I wouldn't go on it if it was sealed up like a Habitrail but to have it open on top. . .I'm having a panic attack just looking at the video/pictures.

i have to confess i can’t look at this pic with my eyes wide open. i have to close them and just try to peek. just peeking at that walkway gives me the dizzies and the flip-flops, holy cow, you’d never ever get me on there- i would pass out first. I’m really afraid of heights but it doesn’t bother me to fly .

I’m afraid of heights, too...but I think I would go out there if for no other reason than to say that I had indeed been there...
I’ve been on the edge of the canyon several times, and even hiked half-way down the Bright Angel Trail as a youngster. The Grand Canyon is just absolutely awesome. The Park Service does their best to deny God’s handiwork in the Grand Canyon; but they ain’t foolin’ me.

You and me both. I have a rough time with heights. I would pee my pants if I walked out on that.

Awesome video!
the powers that be have been developing the Dolan Springs area pretty heavily - planned bedroom communities for Las Vegas. New roads will be nice, but, there goes the neighborhood! (and the peace and quiet I was looking forward to)
