The one at eye level staring you in the face when you walk up the stairs to the cliff. Man I hope that was a joke.

I thought that was the porta john.

Wow....I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thanks Reach!

That was clever Reach. Now how about contributing something other than yuks to the community.

[insert rant about hours of civil toil here, just as long as you add $'s to the porta john afterwords]

because toy, i doubt half the people who walk those stairs at torrent contribute.....

Mark is thinking about charging a parking fee. So, what do all the attorneys think? Are there any liability issues? I think it is a good idea.

Liability is one thing, but charging for parking will encourage people to park across the road in the small field. (Call me a cheap bastard, but that's what I would/will do. That lot is a big enough mess as it is - I would welcome an excuse to avoid it.) Wouldn't that cause problems with the church on Sunday mornings?

IANAL - but from my understanding, Mark is already operating a commercial parking lot, and is exposed to a fair amount of liability as it is. I don't know any details (esp. details of KY law), but generally, charging money for something does effectively increase liability risk. He should probably talk with his insurance agent or company.

I am really surprised some snot nosed kid hasn't watched people climbing and then snuck off while the parents aren't looking to try and climb up as high as he can then falling.

Herd mentality, pigsteak, is a poor excuse.

i know toy....terrible excuse.

I think charging for parking won't fix the problem. I believe the bucket just wasn't obviouse. I've climbing at Torrent countless times and never seen the bucket, but I will make my contributions evertime now. So with that seid I believe if the bucket was more noticable and the requirements to climb posted better than more of the honest people will pay. Those who cheat even when they know they owe will do the same regardless of a parking fee.

gullwing..not to beat a dead horse, but you walk within 12 inches of the donation kiosk every time you head up the stairs...
