Sorry for the week and a half posting break. I'll try to do better! Last Saturday I woke up expecting a boring day of mismatched college football games and high calorie intake. At about 11 AM though, my roommate told me about a fun filled trip of cliff jumping in KY. Without much thought I counted myself in on the trip and we set off with four other guys to a spot where a train tressel crosses over an Ohio River tributary. The water was about 12 to 15 feet deep all around. The concrete that had been put in for the train tressel had ledges at 15 and 45 feet that dropped straight into the water. And then the five that were really brave (and where shoes not flip-flops) dared to walk out onto the train tressel and jump off from 65 feet. I was the whimp, but I'm going to make the jump next time in shoes. I did however do the 45 footer several times and it was a blast. The tressel also had a rope hanging off that was a lot of fun. For those of you who are very worried about my well being, I know it's a little dangerous, but we swam around the pool of water in order to make sure it was all deep enough (even though one guy in the group had jumped there before), and we only found a few spots with tall pointy rocks that could have divided us in half at impact. Just kidding! It was safe and a whole lot of fun! (The pics above are taken from 45 feet. You can watch a short video if you check out my facebook page.)
