    Quarry Jumping
    Well around me at the turn of the century( 1900) this area was a big Granite Quarry area, there are at least a dozen abandon Qurries with in 2 miles, this is one of the larger ones , that is out in the middle of the woods and Kids on Hot summer days go there to swim and jump. The Police Hate , but have not found an effective way to stop it , so I took some photos :)

    this one is realy really nuts ! from the top they have to sprint and jump to get out far enough to clear all the rocks on the way down.

    I had an area where I grew up that was very similar, though wasn't a quarry, but was a river that had some deep gorges that we used to jump off of. It's funny, a lot of them were names after drinks (cooler, cider, wine bottle, beer bottle, etc.) Supposed you needed x amount of liquid courage to jump from each level <chuckle>

    Ahhh, the days of youth.. Thanks for the reminder of the days of the past..

    BTW, love the pictures.
