Awesome views, Saddles... I've seen views of the Goat Cyn Trestle before and it may even have been from this cycle ride, but these were literally awesome...
Thanks...
I'd pass this on to my sons, but because of the dangers mentioned, etc. and the desire to keep them around a bit longer for my grandkids sake, I won't, lol
Plus, they could probably lose their good jobs by any legal probs encountered...

If you read an article linked to from that one, you'll see that the line owners are only concerned about people walking the tracks if they're in use. Since no trains are running there is no current initiative to police the route. It seems walkers and cyclists along it are very common.

I'd have to check it out as one of the comments mentioned that the line was being upgraded so that it could be put back into service from AD to Yuma or something like that. I may have the terminals wrong...

https://youtu.be/L9O3KWrvxKA Check this out if you haven't seen it, it is about 40 minutes long with Adam Savage...
Adam Savage incognito at a New York Comic Con...
I was at a Subway sandwich shop last night and it was close to closing and the guy was making up my order and noticed my Totoro tattoo and we started talking. He clued me in on this and said to just go to 'Tested' on Youtube which was where I found these...
Other Savage vids there including a GITS one I'm going to check out as well...
Enjoy. I've never seen these before.

@makc
But it WAS 3 separate videos...
I included all three links because when I saw the first one it didn't automatically lead to the other two. They were listed in the column along the right side... I'm going back another time and look at some of the others...

No, what you did was putting the same exact link three times

OOPS!!!
OK, I now have the appropriate links... I was tired and just didn't notice. I will think about this in the future if I am posting multiple links again.

Even with the cooling fans he had and later modified.
The closest that I can relate to wearing a comic-con costume is when I was asked to be a Santa for three years running... That was HOT inside that thing and my sympathy went out to all of the Santa's that I had seen over the years...
