Trivia of the Week

What and where is To-to-kon oo-lah?


To-to-kon oo-lah, otherwise known as El Capitan is the tallest granite monolith in the world.  It rises 3,593 feet from the Yosemite Park valley floor in the California, United States. BASE jumpers (who use a parachute) have jumped off but a few have died. For a short time in 1980 you could get a permit to BASE jump from El Capitan but its now illegal.
