It was a wine tour some friends and myself did in some spare time before one of them had to catch a flight.

Very enjoyable and informative.

It was just outside of Niagra Falls on the Ontario side. I finally tasted an icewine. Very interesting stuff, but i think a little too sweet for me.

Ah, we stopped at one of those. Inniskillin vineyard. We didn't take a tour, but we bought some ice wine. Ice wine is good stuff, but definitely a dessert wine that you have once in a blue moon.

I took this outside of Cranberry (Franklin/Oil City area, not Cranberry Twp.). I just noticed you were from Pittsburgh.

I'm thinking one of three things...helicopter ride, that restaurant at the top of that mini tower...or top of the ferris wheel. My bet's on the last one. Awesome shot of a scenic view

[The1]

nope, the tower with the revolving restaurant. Good job though we went to the observation deck. It's nice to be in an observation area where they actually make the screen wide enough for a camera lens to fit though.

Thank for the compliment, wish it were a little lower crop however, but there was a really ugly building that i didn't want in the picture, so i sacrificed for more land above the falls then below.

Haha, yeah it kinda ruins it. Those are actually ziplines. I would have taken it from a different angle without the lines but the clouds around the volcano are so fast that the cone disappears in a few seconds.

Of course! It's fun but not that exciting. It doesn't give me the adrenaline rush I get when going downhill on a mountain bike at full speed. lmao

If you like adrenalin rushes, try a STABO extraction.



Full pic spread here. I miss flying around in Huey's. Good times back then.

Mark you have just become this Marc's hero....interesting enough R. Marcinko's (reading Rogue Warrior right now) mentions testing something similar to this setup in the book.

Here's another adrenaline rush I did a few weeks ago:
Location: Mt. Kinabalu|Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Altitude: 3776 Meters
World's Highest Via Ferrata Suspension Bridge

[M_Six]

^^^^Nice. Bet it was hard to breathe. Highest I ever got was 14,200ft up inside the crater of Nevado de Toluca volcano in Mexico. It was hell climbing up the crater wall and I even got to ride up into the crater floor. Climbing up the wall was "take a step, sit and breathe, take a step, sit and breathe." Very difficult to catch a full breath. Although while I was sitting there wheezing I saw a bunch of school kids come pouring over the edge of the crater wall well above my level and run down the trail to the floor of the crater. Didn't bother them in the least. But their city (Toluca) is at almost 10,000ft, so I guess they're used to it.

^^ wow that's too high up for me, i'll stick with my roller coasters.
