Dale, OMG it definitely would be a RUSH!

Joel, no I don't have the courage. However, when I was young I wanted to parachute out of a plane...but not lately :)

Rebecca, this would scare the pants off me! We have the Royal Gorge here with similar activities, and would never try that. That bridge is beautiful though!

Rebecca - not so much into thrill seeking these days, maybe maturity comes with age. That being said, you will have no challenge getting contenders to participate.

Rebecca: Why would anyone want to jump off a perfectly good bridge?! Thrill-seekers have had this circled on their calendar for the past year I bet...it should be a fun event.

Rebecca, Having jumped out of a perfectly good airplane I so no reason not to do it from a bridge! What a crazy-fun event for thrill seekers and those who simply want to face their fears.

Rebecca,

There was a time in my 30's when I considered skydiving. I changed my mind quickly and never had any regrets. I'm afraid I couldn't even stand to watch. My eyes would be closed and I'd be praying the whole time for those attempting the challenge. Nope, too stressful to even think about for me! But that bridge and the scenery in your pictures is gorgeous - that's more my speed!

Talk about thrill-seekers...these participants are really dare-devils. Forget about doing this...I don't think I could even watch it in person!

I would enjoy the views with my camera in hand but would leave the base jumping to others.

Have an outstanding week.
