NYCkayaker Brooklyn Bridge Waterfall this Summer

[hberger at pol.net]

High Bridge is a fantastic idea.  I think you should pass it along to the
Mayor's office and Bronx Borough President.  BTW, on that day each year when
they open up unusual places to the public, the open the old water tower on the
Manhattan Side of High Bridge.  It affords fantastic views of not only the
bridge but the whole metropolitan area. Strongly recommend the climb up.
