We had an ATPO lurker show up at our meet in Flagstaff, Arizona. Since we had no idea who he was, we did not let him stay overnight with us in our big cabin. But he did come during the day to be with us and seemed all right. Then came the day for the group to visit the Grand Canyon. He went by himself from his motel. Apparently, one look over the edge was enough for him. He left immediately, long before we arrived, and texted Masq that he was going home and was *never* coming back to Arizona. I'm acrophobic but I never had a problem enjoying the Grand Canyon!

I visited Canyon Lands National Park in Utah one summer. I took a mile hike away from a parking lot out on a narrow promontory, that I knew had steep cliffs on both sides. The trail went through the tall brush most of the way. So I couldn't see the edge on either side. I began hearing something big moving to my right. It definitely had four legs, so it was nothing to worry about. I figured it was a mule deer. The noise kept getting louder until I saw it, a Mountain Big Horn Sheep. It saw me and took off running. I saw it long enough to see it go down out of sight *over the edge.* Heck, I wouldn't start running up there on the cliffs, let alone try going down the side! I got to the end of the trail and saw where the Green and Colorado Rivers meet in a canyon below the valley floor. It was a *long* way down from me to the valley floor.

I've watched dangerous-places vids on YouTube. That's getting close enough for me!
