Once a year the full moon will rise NE and be framed by the walls of Eldo. Yesterday the super moon (the largest moon in decades) rose between the Redgarden and Bastille walls of Eldorado Canyon. It was beautiful.

A shamelessly stolen picture of Ivy Baldwin crossing the high wire (1906?) - taken from http://9teen87spostcards.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html.<br>

Back when the wire was up we would take a step or two out on the wire and get way more scared than we had been climbing up. The guy had balls!<br>

Note the old hotel on the upper left high on the hill.
