Im meeting little of them hes been custodian of the pot now gorge for 18 years. Believe can you tell us a little about what you do. Taking the other to avoid that we have a fairly standard routine every day before we open the gorge my stuff conduct a thorough Safety Inspection then make sure all of the pathways and railings are intact sometimes they have to remove trash or debris. If theres a problem of any kind they phone me and i have to decide whether it can be solved quickly and easily or whether we have to close the gorgeous short notice on both light equipped with the mighty compass and now if i do that after all these years you probably know the gorge better than anyone and garmisch patent creation or even the whole world whats so fascinating about the partner. And is this for. The gore which has a different ambiance in every season i thought and even different times of the day if youre here at 7 in the morning its not a troll like 230 or 3 in the afternoon.
