    Default Very Tough Trail

    Default String out more

    i doubt I'd walk so close, just in case-string out some .

    On a side thought, it takes 'trail maintenance' to quite a different level

    They must not have any lawyers over there. Otherwise, the insurance rates would be so high as to close it down.

    Hey, anyone heard of Via Feratta in WV? That place is worse!!! I kid you not. Try crossing a swaying bridge 300 feet uo in the air in sleet with each board about a foot apart from each other. It is scary.

    (Just to clarify, Via Feratta is a climbing place, and it is latin for Iron Way.)
