: What I want to know about the film's final scene is...how the heck did they get cast and crew to that spot??? I'm sorry, but your Mighty Mohican Mama Marcia just can't imagine Maddy (especially) getting up there via the same route WE took! And the thought of dragging cameras and other filming equipment through the bushes and over the rocks is crazy. So...what *did* happen? Did they parachute them in from passing planes? Fling them to the top with a catapult? Lower them down from a hovering helicopter? Was a skyhook involved??? Inquiring minds want to know!

: Thanks for any clues you can give me!

I thought I was the only one who conjured up fanciful images concerning the logistics involved in getting cast and crew to the top of the mountain for the final sceen. Perhaps they rode in baskets attached to a fleet of colorful ballons. (Naw, the winds would have to be right or they'd end up filming the last sceen in the Everglades - that would really have been confusing). Do they make cranes that big? I'm anxiously awaiting the answer to this riddle.
Am I drifting off into the twilight zone or, do I remember reading that DDL did Maddy's makeup the last day of filming?
