Just got home from Bridge Day weekend.  Great times rappelling off the bridge!



Me and the kid after his first time ever rappelling the bridge:

Must've been awesome! I've been there on two occasions as a spectator.

My aunt lives maybe 10 minutes from that bridge. I need to go out there and visit sometime. Looks like beautiful country

The binging started after we were done.  I got turned on to apple pie moonshine , but my head wasn't too happy this morning

It's a beautiful area. I stay away during Bridge Day as I do most other events that have humans in attendance.

That's beautiful. I take it they close the bridge and you can do what you want.

The bridge is closed from 7am to 5pm.  BASE jumpers jump from the deck, we rappel from the catwalk 25 feet below the deck. Drops range from 700 to 800 feet depending on what rope you are assigned to.

It is beautiful country - I drove across that bridge this past week heading to/from WV for some work.  Unfortunately, the whole place is filled with West Virginians.

Rappelling from a bridge?

That sounds AWESOME!

I've never rappelled before, but I want to do that.
