Went to Beech Bottom on Staurday

Hi guys,

Well I went to Beech Bottom on Saturday, and jumped the cliffs and various rocks. It was the biggest rush I've had in a very long time. One cliff was about 35-40 feet high, and another rock was about 25 feet high. When you go in the summer, and the water level is lower, it is much safer because you can see the rocks underneath the water.

I highly reccommend the 4 mile hike into the valley, and the cliff jumping, or just hanging out in the sun by the falls.

David, good to hear you had a safe trip, but please don't encourage others to participate. You faired much better than a fellow rock diver we pulled from Carters Lake a couple of weeks ago. After diving head first into a large rock, his head was split about 5-6" front to back, and he was in convulsions on a stretcher last time I saw him. It's a long way to "walk" or "carry" injured folks out of Beech Bottoms.
