Not a Chance

No offense to the People of the Tall Pines. I wish you the best, I really do. But even if you paid me $25, I would not walk on this thing, and if you ask me to pay the $25, then really you're just inviting ridicule.

I have firm belief in American engineers. Scientific study has accomplished truly wondrous feats (the wonderbra, skyscrapers, suspension bridges). I'm sure it's perfectly safe. But I have no desire to pass out as I look down 4,000 feet to the canyon floor. I've gotten brave about a lot of things, but this is not one of them. Sorry!

I'll be in the gift shop. You pick me up when you're done.
