Slack Lining in Chico

One of Dave's heroes is Philippe Petit from the movie Man on Wire.  He is a tight rope walker who spent years of his life planning to walk a high wire between the twin towers in NYC.  He did it and the 45-minute preformance was awe-inspiring for the entire world.  You can witness the whole experience by watching the movie Man on Wire.  Anyhoo, Dave loves to create miniature "man on wire" acts whenever he can.  Here he offers a rope walk across the river-pool at Bidwell park in Chico.  He had to set this up very early in the morning since it would not be allowed by the park attendants who arrive at 9 AM.  The illicit nature of the mission made it all the more exciting for Dave.  He received these pictures from early morning park-walkers who stopped to admire his unique performance.
