The American Spirit

If you ever come to Colorado, one of the cool places to visit is the Royal Gorge. It is the world's highest suspension bridge over a spectacular deep canyon of the Arkansas River. This month a man put on a jet pack (no parachute) and journeyed from one side of the canyon to the other.
The American spirit is not dead, and we can all be thankful for that today.

I have been there...that guy was a nut! It's a long, long way down.

Bob, I made myself walk across that bridge a number of years ago and it was one of the scariest things I've ever done. What a feat for that man to do!

Since I'm afraid of heights I wouldn't go near anything like that. I nearly had vertigo at the Space Needle, ha. But yes the American spirit is still wild and free...thank goodness.
