I call down to tell Cyndi that I've made it up to the vulture house. Can you believe it? I walk up to the front of the house to meet the owner (also named Robert) and ask him if he wouldn't mind if I took a picture from the back of his house. He says, "Sure", and points me to a small walkway leading to a big deck he has on the back of his place that overlooks the river. It's really really high up there and I was quite nervous walking back along his little ledge to his deck overlooking the river.
