Todd goes airborne at Alder Creek, Big Sur

Todd Ferryman traverses a high line at Alder Creek.  Todd is an unflappable superintendent for AIS, working on the Alder Creek slide repair for Caltrans.  AIS stabilized the slide earlier this year, and now we're installing wire mesh drapery to help keep loose rocks off Highway 1.  Todd is traversing the top anchor rope for one of the mesh panels. To give you an idea of scale, Todd is about 9 feet tall. (Actually, he's only 6'9", but that sure seems like 9 feet when you stand next to him).  Thanks to John Duffy for the photo.
