Visiting the Baltimore Harbor



             A few weeks ago, I visiting the great city of Baltimore, Maryland. In preparation for the walk across Niagara Falls, and to also open the new Ripley's Believe it or Not which is located right there on the harbor. Nik crossed the Baltimore Harbor. However, Nik almost fell off the rope, he still successfully made it across. As a gift to open the new Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, Nik gave them a piece of his tightrope and his wetsuit to put on display. Check out pictures of both below:

                The city of Baltimore is a strong supporter of Nik's. They are gracious around there. There is a memorial to his walk and people still talk about him months after he has left. I highly suggest any Nik Wallenda fan making a trip to Baltimore.

Baltimore Harbor

             I'm about ready to leave for my trip to Baltimore, Maryland. While in Baltimore, I plan on visiting the harbor which Nik crossed in his practice run for the Big Show, Niagara Falls. Nik almost fell during this walk as he lost concentration by talking to his friend in the bucket who was holding the rope steady. Nik finished this walk safely and was one step closer into history.

                This picture is of Nik as he did a practice walk in preperation for the Falls. However this wasn't a normal practice walk. This was over Baltimore Harbor. Nik almost fell here but he regained his consotration and gained his balence and finished the walk. As usual Nik was not scared even though everyone else was. But who wouldn't be scared after a similar sitiuation occured to his Great-Grand Father Karl Wallenda and lead to his death.
