Matt was the only one to get any action shots from our trip to the Clackamas River two weeks back. He even got a sequence of me jumping from the high rock, which I’ve stitched together for the fun of it. As usual, I start in true “riding the invisible horse” form.
There is a fair amount of stuff missing from the photo, so use your imagination. I’ve spliced in one of my own photos of the same area to help fill in one of the empty spaces.
Several years ago I was working as an usher at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival. I was escorting people in wheelchairs in to the show, and I got to talking to one guy. He was out for the first time since his accident. He busted his spine jumping off the high rocks in Estacada. He went to do a move, and slipped. Didn’t make the water.
Hey. Be careful of Estacada — not from possible paralysis, but I hear you can get a mean case of arsenic poisoning there.
wow – nice jump!
