They opened the Skywalk over the Grand Canyon today, and even the TV
coverage of going out on it looked pretty scary.
I think the Hualapai tribe probably has a real winner here from a
financial point of view.
Talk about going on a vision quest. :-)

....See how a cat or dog reacts on the glass. That'll be worth the
price of admission! :-)

At $25 a pop? Nope.

Not for you or I, but remember all those Vegas gamblers they're marketing
to.

Hell, I almost fell off of a mountain once for free, ended up thigh-deep
in quicksand after falling ten feet off of the side of a river valley
(and I can guarantee you I wasn't expecting _quicksand_ in North Dakota,
although it did break my fall, and made a really neat "plop" sound as I
hit) and slid down the side of a butte feet-first into cacti.
It may look pretty dangerous, but when it comes right down to it, it's
pretty safe.
For starters, that transparent floor is mighty, mighty, thick.
Four inches of high strength glass according to the news tonight.
The only problem they'd probably run into with me is that I'd be laying
flat out on the floor looking down into the chasm through my binoculars
for most of the day. :-D

I wonder what that glass will look like in 5-10 years, all scratched
up from sand and grit attached to people's shoes.

I think someone mentioned that you put on slippers when you go out in
the Skywalk.
If it were me, I'd lay thin sheets of transparent plastic over the glass
that could be easily and cheaply replaced if they got scratched.

The contractor did it first. Other than permits, what could possible have
cost multi-millions for what's there?

Tribe must contact Great White Fathers that watch over casinos.
Much wampum must go to Great White Fathers, so that Skybridge does not
burn down.
This is called "Protection Wampum".
Is special medicine, watched over by Teamster braves, who get "Slice Of
Pie", and "Piece Of Action".
Many of our tribe bleed from this "Cut".
