Call me a crazy Irish-American; but as a painter with no fear of heights I sat about 3 feet away from the edge and scooted so I could dangle my feet over the edge. I've got pics of it from my wife and friends who said I wouldn't do it. From my vantage point it was the most awe inspiring moment in my life, looking at water crashing in the walls and caves below. Truly a natural wonder of God's great earth! Next up for Sully, retiring to Ireland, home of the most friendly people in the world!
