GREAT Family Reunion suggestion.... ???

We LOVE getting together as a family! Recently, we all got an email from my Dad, with a bright idea for a family reunion! In HIS words...
"so we can take the grandkids on this short walk..."

Take a peek and let me know what ya think! Don't get me wrong... i am all up for a new adventure! Just not so sure that i wan't my kids having the same adventure!
My son is the oldest grandson out of TEN grandchildren (& one on the way!-yea Sara & Spenc!)... and he is only 10! Can you just imagine 10 children let loose on a trail like this, with only 4 Mothers (myself & three sisters) left to fend for them! YIKES! talk about nightmare!

Very funny Daaaad! Don't think the Allen's will be attending this year! Ü

In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway took four years; it was finished in 1905.

In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII crossed the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce and it became known by its present name.

In some places the walkway has collapsedThe walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have completely collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold it up and the wire that follows most the path. One can latch onto the wire to keep from falling. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances; however, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

The regional government of Andalusia budgeted in 2006 for a restoration plan[1] estimated at € 7 million.
