I walked to where the towers from the tight ropes were tied

It's a magical spot. I grew up there before the park was built. And we'd just run up and down to the swimming hole at the bottom all day long. Glad you got to experience it yourself.

Sounds like you will get your wish based on his comments after the Skyscraper walks.

Hi Andrew. If the purpose of a doc is to show what that "thing" is. What would you have us do? These are their beliefs. I'm just curious what you would like given that this is what they believe. Shall we put your views on them or just let them say their views since this is about them. Just asking.

Never happen..the insurance alone would not allow it. One side belongs to the state of Georgia. The other side is privately owned. The owners would never allow it because of liability insurance issues and no amount of persuasion would let it happen
