This "gap" reminds me of when I lived at the Grand Canyon (my dad was
running a gold & uranium mine on the South Rim), and tourists would ask
(seriously) where they could buy flashbulbs that would light up the canyon
at night so they could take a picture. Uhh ... it's only a MILE deep, and
who knows how many miles across. You just have to laugh, I guess.
