When I got there I thought “it’s too bad I’m too scared to be able to do this…” and I looked and the deep beautiful gorge and I watched my brave friends Terry and Megan fall to what looked like to me thier death. They didn’t die and they had a good time so I started to think “maybe I could do this…” and then in one crazy fleeting moment I decided “I am not going to let fear make decisions for me I am going to do this and nobody can stop me.” So I signed the waver and paid and all of a sudden I”m being harnessed up and attached to ropes and clips and then I’m standing on the ledge and this guy is telling me to lean back over the gorge 400 feet below me. Is he crazy!? I’m not leaning back. I”m not doing this. I can’t do this. Kelton is leaning back ready to go and I pulled him back. I am not going to do it I decided and Angie called my name and looked at me and said “you can do it” so I leaned back and down down down I went swinging through the gorge.
It was the most freeing thing I have ever done. There is something so amazing about conquering your fear. If I wouldn’t have done it I would have never seen the beautiful waterfall that was right under the platform I jumped off of, it was so beautiful.
Weeeeee
