    Mistone, thank you for your heroic clean ups in The Gorge.
    I recently got a guided tour of Rock Jock Trail, it’s a difficult trail. Plenty of chances to trip and fall while on the trail, which I took full advantage of, by tripping and falling face first on a steep downhill section of trail.

    But at no time did I venture too far beyond the trail to get some cliff side scenic views. I got my scenic vistas from a respectable distance from cliff’s edge. Phantom skeeerd of heights

    Therefore, at no time was I at risk of falling off a cliff.
    It’s a tough beautiful trail. Walking and standing at a cliff’s edge, while tired and probably being distracted by taking phone photos, is dangerous.

    Very sad. Doesn't take much for an accident to happen. Keep safe everyone.
    Don't let life get in the way of living.
