Ed,
We've gone more times than I like to think about but not once in the past ten years or so and honestly, as beautiful as the view is, and it truly is gorgeous, it's just not worth taking a chance anymore. Too many crazies out there these days.
I agree, it would seem like a fairly east crime to bring to an end if they seriously wanted to, and why they haven't done something about it is beyond me.
There was a time, many years ago when, at my request, John and the girls left me in the parked car with a good book while they went off exploring up there one more time. I'd probably been there 8 to 10 times at the very least by then. We never worried about bad guys or bad things happening to us. Not sure if we were naive or just dumb but I like to think it was a kinder and gentler island back in those days so no need for worries.
That would definitely NOT happen today and I wouldn't even go up there unless there were at least three or four big strong guys in the group. Just not worth the risk. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
