Trivia contest question
My son is doing a trivia contest, and one of the clues is "the base of the mountain in this Montana area may look like a spring yard sale after the 'jumpers' jump."

Is there a popular site for a boogie or something like that in Montana? It might be BASE jumping, might be skydiving. But the one big boogie in Montana isn't really at the base of a mountain. Obviously PM me. But I love my son, and would, of course, even risk posting in the BASE forum for him Sly Thanks.

isn't Montana home to some smoke jumpers?

I doubt it's anything to do with a "boogie" or even BASE jumping as the writers of this riddle probably know zip about either.

I think the smoke jumpers angle is the winner. In a whuffo's mind after the jump - the parachutes (always white to a wuffo) laying among the trees might suggest a "spring yard sale" if people sold their old bedsheets every spring.

Thanks.
My feeling, too, is that the quote marks around the word means it's a cute and witty answer, like the crap that comes up in crossword puzzles sometimes.

There was another parachute question, though, about the Kittinger jump Smile
