Back in 1999 I went on a business trip to Toronto and out hosts took me and my boss to a Blue Jays game and out to dinner and asked if we wanted to go up in the CN Tower. No thanks. I hate bridges too. But the funny thing is I love flying.

Walked the Kaibob and Bright Angel Trails in Grand Canyon down to the river and back up.

No handrails, nothing but air and rocks between you and the river a mile below.

Did the same thing 25 years ago...

Only a couple hours down, but I barely made it back out by dusk. That was quite the hike.

Well, I was 14 at the time. So figure I was a few years earlier than you - maybe 1969-70 at the time.

Can you imagine 15 miles hike with a harness on.

Moving the double-tie-off lanyard clips every twelve feet? 8<)
