Bridge Day

| October 19,

The rain held off for most of the day and it wasn’t at all as cold as it could have been. We had a blast and we hope you did, too. Here are some highlights from Bridge Day :

The crowd presses in for good look at the jumping platform.

Watchers on the train tracks hold their breathe as a chute opens.

 

BASE jumping New River Gorge

The New River has high water=a smaller landing zone. This is what the jumpers are aiming for.

 We love this BASE jumper’s style.
