Black Tower
Would the junk show captain who keeps leaving the ladder down please refrain from such irresponsibility? There is another, really easy way onto that thing. If you're too broken, scared, inept, or inebriated to use that way, either have one of your more capable friends return the ladder to its original position or go to one to the other things nearby. If those are too difficult or too much work, you could always buy a ticket on a turboprop aircraft.

Thanks.

Note for Mods: this name is colloquial and doesn't actually identify the object, except hopefully to those people who think they're the only ones jumping it.

Lodi skyjumping fools ill bet. Possibly the same people who cut a hole in a chain link fence that is all of 6 feet tall on another local tower.

Re: [hjumper33] Black Tower
Was the hole cut on the same line of towers?

I've hit up the black a few times this year and last. Each time the ladder was down. If your my size its easier to avoid the ladder. It's pretty rickety anyway. If its who I think it is, they will never put it back or go the easier but slightly scarier way.

Re: [hjumper33] Black Tower
Its funny how when shit gets Fucked up around here, its usually lodi jumpers....As always there are a few exceptions, but for the most part, No discipline to the art of stealth. To radical for there own Good. To selfish to care about the crew, or longevity of an object.

But when you actually try to put a name or face to a lodi jumper, its hard to do. There are just to many of them, and they are constantly coming and going like dropzone Gypsies.

Its very frustrating...

Re: [ChrisHall] Black Tower
I don't see why anyone bothers with the ladder, Im a fatty and can make it the other way just fine...but to each their own I guess...

Re: [hookitt] Black Tower
Well I was out there two weeks ago and it was up; this morning it was down. I'm guessing that means the rancher or other working guy with a full schedule is hella stoked that some rad base savages came out and raged, adding ten more minutes work to his day. What's up, leave no trace?

I would almost care, except 1) those towers are way to far away for me now and 2) I would barely call myself a base jumper anymore Unsure

Re: [hjumper33] Black Tower
Funny, there's a large hole in another fence at a place a bit farther from Lodi, but within the nearby large metropolitan population center. This fence also has some totally destroyed razor wire on top.

News flash Retardo Posses of the world: people work on and around these things regularly. I don't know where you work -- and maybe you don't -- but I can't think of any places that deal with physical damage and destruction to facilities and equipment in a favorable manner. If you piss people off enough, they will make what was at one point a low-key object into a royal pain in the ass.

I'm sorry for being preachy; I usually really hate reading these kinds of posts. I feel it needs to be said though, because there's obviously an individual or group shitting in everyone's backyard. DON'T DESTROY PROPERTY!

No. Cool

Re: [stinkydragon] Black Tower
I was at Walmart the other day and in the camping section, they sell an inexpensive small spy camera that is self contained, used for observing deer or other game during both day and night (includes IR nightvision). Wanna see who's doing it? Put the camera in an obscure hidden location somewhere near the object.

Re: [460] Black Tower
Damn, that's a way better idea than sewing the base of the tower with improvised explosive anti-personel devices.
