I just did a back flip off of a rope swing with about a 40 ft drop to the water...alcohol and pretty woman were all involved.
Crazy weekend...

No doubt, liquid courage will make a person do some stupid shit. I can attest to that, back in my younger days. :-)
I was talking to a guy that saw the video and he said it kinda looked like he may have fallen. He said that by the time he cleared the bridge deck he was already horizontal so possibly it was an accident. I've also heard that Tribune article was wrong and it's around 108' from the point where he jumped, not from the deck. You can see on the bridge pier where the high water line was last summer for over 2 months, the spot where I took that pic was under water then. There was major flooding and a lot of expensive houses got damaged but dikes saved a lot of areas.
The Army Corps of Engineers that controls Garrison Dam, about 60 miles north miscalculated the amount of runoff from the Rockies and combined with heavy spring rains forced them to release huge amounts of water for half the summer to get the level of Lake Sakakawea down. It was the first time they've ever used the spillway gates at the dam.
IIRC the river stage was around 10 feet higher during the flood so going by that it looks like the deck is maybe 50' above the water now. Sure looks higher though.

^ Those are some great shots.
Mother nature hates white cars... Yes that's the hose still laying there because I just washed it. Didn't even finish cleaning the wheels. Hmmm, all this free rinse water though, I think I'll clay bar it!

You think Mother Nature hates white cars...you should see a black car after a rain...she hates them as well ;)

Jon, I just drove home from work and did 50 down 95. I saw put the cars in the garage now because hell is coming your way.

Well, I finally got to put hands on my friend, Kyle's new ZHP (ScottZHP's recently sold ride). Luckily I had recently washed mine, because this car is CLEAN! Scott did a great job maintaining it, and Kyle will do the same.
