I jumped off a 65-foot ledge into a lake today
Look hard and you can see me smack in the middle of the photo, facing to the left as I psych up for my first ever 65-foot jump into a cold mountain lake. My friend Randy is on the right. I had a pucker factor of about 9:
 You can see more pics of our adventure at Angora Lake today at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...1&l=4194e2ee01 It's a public album so no Facebook account is required.

Brian, you're crazy. I had the opportunity to climb and jump off of a 100-foot tree back in high school, I didn't do it. I just can't jump off of high places. LOL. I hate heights, but I love roller coasters for some reason. hahahaha.

Correction: I have been informed by several sources that what we thought was a 50-foot jump is actually 65 feet.
The shorter ledge that my friend Randy jumped off for his second attempt was the 50 foot one.
