|
Even the entrance to the parking lot is new |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take a look down the 93 new steps |
|
|
|

It doesn't look so intimidating this early in the morning |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coming up on the top of the rocks waiting area |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A place to show some simple etiquette while others pass |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A turn to the left to find steps where there once was only rock |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A peak at the corner where the gift begins |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting down the frequently dreamed of extension |
|
|
|

|
|
|
No Kidding! They actually go to the water line |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Look at the inviting water |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Turning to begin the trek back up the 93 new steps |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now I remember what it looks like! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only thing to do is to keep walking |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Someone is observing from the top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Showing the "etiquette zone" |
|
|
|
|
