Re: Atop Mount Whitney (Part 2 of 2)
I was too cowardly to pull out my camera on those narrow parts, choosing instead to watch my footing. But I found this photo online that gives you an idea of what that's like. It's about a 2000 foot drop on either side.

Re: Scenes from Cape Breton Island
What a wonderful place! Love the Cabot Trail. The views are amazing! Interestingly, we ate the best Greek and Indian food in Cape Breton. There's also an interesting mining museum where you can go down in the mines with a guide. Hard on you back if you are tall though but worth it. Had a great time!
