Bungee Jump April 7 2007
Okay folks.. Something new and different (for some)
http://www.bungee.com/bzapp/bungee_masters/bridge.html
The date is set with the company, so April 7th is leap day.
Bungee jump
So far
1. Todd--- Confirmed
2. Dustin----(tentative)
3. Larthology----Confimed
4. Mo--Confirmed
5 CoreyAnn--Confirmed
6. Jennifer (tikigirl)--- Confirmed
7.You?
Criteria:
Minimum weight: 90 lbs.
Maximum weight: 340 lbs.
Body harness jumps only, no ankle jumps available.
One jump $75.00 +tax.
Two jumps $99.00+tax (optional 3rd jump for another $25.00).
Jumping Starts @ 11:00 in the morning.
I've done three jumps with these folks. They have been in business for a bunch of years with no losses ( ). They have a redundant safety system with two people who check harnesses, so this is as safe as it gets.
It's a bridge jump over a (probably very cold) creek. If I remember correctly, it's something like a 75' drop. Pretty short in the scheme of things.
All we need is 5 definate confirmed jumpers to get this going... Who's In?
These need to be definate confirmations. We will be locked into it once we have 5 folks confirmed.
45 minutes from Portland (approx)
3 hours from Seattle (approx)

3.As you approach the first light, turn left (east) at the light crossing under I-5 and crossing Atlantic Ave.
4.Important: After having crossed under the freeway, take your first (legal) right onto CC Street (before the ARCO station).
5.You will immediately cross a bridge over the Lewis River, bear left coming off the bridge onto Hayes Road and follow the road (this road will become Cedar Creek Road just a few miles out of Woodland) toward Amboy, WA (approximately 15 miles).
6.DO NOT turn into Amboy (on NE 221st & Cedar Cr. Rd.) but continue on road toward Chelatchie Prairie Store & Gas (approximately 3.5 to 4 miles past the turn for Amboy).

9.At the base of Tum Tum Mt. (Clear-cut pyramid shaped butte on your right). Look for a post on the left-hand side of the road topped with a red highway cone. (BUNGEE is written on the post and on the gate).
10.Behind the post you will see our big black gate, our bridge is 1/4 mile down the road from the gate. The right side of gate will be unlocked during our jumps.
