The Highest Place by Charles Boylan

August 24th, 2009 9:48 PM / Location: 37.881591,-121.9138

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to the highest point of anything.

right...went to the top of the highest point in the East Bay, Mt Diablo. While it was easy in time and cost, it had a psychic cost since I am an acrophobe. Ever sharp turn was anxiety producing, and I had a sense of vertigo at the peak while standing in the parking lot up there. Views were very good considering the crap in the air. The beat thing for me was that the actual highest point on the mountain is enclosed with the little museum/gift shop/castle. So I was at the top and yet still safely enclosed within thick comforting walls with full A/C blasting away.

The actual top f Mount Diablo, safe within thick walls with no windows reminding you how hideously high in the air you are.

welcome to the game!

I'm going to flag this because you haven't gone to the place, come back, and then written about it and/or posted pictures. Praxis gets posted after the big adventure, rather than as a teaser for it. Re-submit the task once you've done it and folks will vote and comment and cheer, I promise.

Acrophobes climbing to hideously high places for the win!

Fear of heights runs in my family. I don't have much of it myself, but I'm not completely unfamiliar with the feeling.
