I was standing on a platform on the side of the gorge.  The Resources 
Council makes it very clear they don't want you climbing within the 
gorge nor would I make the attempt with or without camera gear.

Buying the 7-14mm and the new E-3 would most likely still be less 
expensive then buying a 5D or MkIII to use with my Zuiko 21/3.5. ;-) 
But seriously, the 11-22mm might be wide enough to meet my needs.  Maybe 
I'll wait for Bill to switch to Can*n so I can make him an offer on his 
7-14mm though I'd probably be standing in line behind Ken and Joel. :)

Yes, I caught it this time. :)  After reviewing the whole series, "In 
the Midst" was my favorite.
