Gorge bridge to host catwalk tours
FAYETTEVILLE -- Endless Wall Trail, Long Point Trail and other pathways in the New River Gorge National River bring visitors to breathtaking vistas atop sheer cliffs overlooking churning whitewater. But starting in the spring, New River Gorge visitors will be able to walk directly across the canyon, 850 feet above the river on a 30-inch-wide path of steel.

Be great to go out to the middle and take a dump off the beam.

We tried to talk them into letting us do this over 20 years ago. We could have been making lots of money for us AND the state, not to mention the media coverage. But WV is always 10 to 20 years behind the times.

"Taking a dump" would occur automatically with me.
Just as soon as I left Terra Firma and looked down.

Catwalks? We don need no stinking catwalks. (Photo of me walking the top beam before completion. I set the timer on the camera, ran down the beam, and then turned and walked back as the shutter tripped)
