It was the first day the public could buy a $75 tour package and walk along the glass-bottomed bridge for an unprecedented view of the world's best-known abyss. Only media and VIPs got a sneak peek last week.
The consensus of dozens of visitors who stepped off the glass platform, most wide-eyed, smiling and somewhat unnerved, was that it was hard to access, pricey, not quite ready for prime time and, yet, an unparalleled experience of a lifetime.

Well, even if writerfella has doubts that all of that reductio ad absurda will come to pass, he still would fork over a ten-spot just so Rob can walk in the footsteps of John Herrington. Who knows, halfway out Rob just may meet Herrington and find out he's looking at his doppelganger!

Your recent daydreams of my meeting Herrington, Bruchac, et al. are kind of silly. My views are based on facts and logic; they won't change because of transitory experiences.

Are you actually saying that John Herrington and Joseph Bruchac DO NOT EXIST??? Hell, they stood behind you on the bus! But all you saw was other white men that may or may not have tried to peek down your shirt to see if you have hair on your chest!

Your daydreams are kind of silly because you think meeting people like Bruchac and Herrington will change my view of Indians. Not so. My views are based on facts and logic; they won't change because of transitory experiences.
Here's another article on the Skywalk:
Epic views, but no cameras allowed on Skywalk
No cameras?! I hadn't heard that one before. I wouldn't pay more than five bucks to experience the Skywalk without my camera.
They're really milking this spectacle for every last dollar. That leads me to predict it's going to be a financial failure. Either that or they'll have to lower the price significantly.

writerfella did not say that meeting Bruchac or Herrington would "change (your) view of Indians." But it might affect how you look at certain Mohawks and almost all Chickasaws...
