    That was great. I really want to get to see that place someday.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Last summer I had the privilege of visiting Yosemite Natioanl Park and admired Half Dome (from a distance). My hat's off to this 'piper, and to all those who make the National Parks the wondrous places they are.

    I think it's awesome that he had the stamina to play after getting to the top of Half Dome. That hike is 20 miles round trip, and there's a 5,000 ft elevation gain on the way up.

    When I made the top, I wasn't sure if my being out of breath was from the climb,...or the view.

    The next step will be an astronaut playing it in the International Space Station.
    There certainly one of them who can play the bagpipes and carry it in orbit.

    Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey might be an interesting choice as well.

    I trust that the piper would have the courtesy to take along a set of chamber pipes. . . . . . The GHPipes in an enclosed small space can be positively painful!
