Aight! So I had a thought the other day. I'm trying to get my BASE number and I have my E and B left. Obviously Moab is an easy deal but I’m a little short on cash and also vacation time. So, I was getting something off my mom’s desk the other day and noticed a picture of my sister and I on the edge of a cliff in a park we were hiking with our family back when we were younger. Remembering back to that trip, I can picture the exact cliff and remember it being at least a good 300-400 feet high.

My question is: Are the penalties for BASE jumping in a state park the same or less severe than jumping on NPS land ike NRG or Yosemite?

That would depend on the park. Pm me some details and I'll try to help you out.

I'd like to see the landing area on this baby!

Edited to add: Thats not me BTW. Found the pic online.

I have a picture of me on that exact spot. It is on a southern portion of the Appalachian Trail. Landing is all trees
I layed on the edge and stared at it for a long time.

nice, Well that will save me the time for google earth'ing it.

Coco

Not conclusive, of course, but judging by the tree below [him], it doesn't really matter...
It'd be nice to move that exit up about 6-7oo meters though!

True but that picture can be deceiving. That could just be one little ledge thats right near where the guy is standing and the rest could be nicely overhung.

Would really have to see to know for a fact.

Here is a pic looking down.

I see a hole in the trees! We can jump!

Oh wait this is BASE not skydiving.
