	Mindspace of Jonketo: Off to the Gorge!
		The walk into the gorge was by far the hardest part of the hike.
		Also, the view of the opposite wall of the gorge got better and better because we were able to see more of it in either direction.
		The opposite wall of the gorge is almost a sheer cliff in a lot of places, so the views of it are amazing and it seems a lot large and steeper than it actually is.

	Act with urgency on the gorge - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		The closure of the Rio Cobre gorge over the past week because of the huge landslips caused by the rains associated with Hurricane Wilma appears, finally, to be concentrating official minds on an issue that has been a bugbear of this newspaper for years.
		Third, if the government believes that it is politically difficult to close the gorge and have a tolled road as the primary route between the country's key economic centres, then it can undertake the development as part of the state's infrastructure works.
		The gorge should be dammed, which would allow for the better management of the waters of the Rio Cobre and the feeding of an increasingly thirsty Greater Kingston.

		The Columbia River Gorge has existed as a sea-level passage through the Cascades for millions of years, and for untold thousands of years people have taken advantage of this natural highway.
		Most archaeological evidence along the river dates no further than the end of the latest Ice Age, but "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." The ice age concluded with dramatic floods that would have swept away any earlier traces.
		Two key events came for the Columbia Gorge came in the latter half of the 20th century: development of Interstate 84 (originally known as Interstate 80-N), replacing Highway 30 in the late 1950s and allowing the large-scale movement of truck traffic, and the 1986 passage by Congress of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
