We are in Eden which is near the city of Twin Falls. The Snake River flows through here. It is a deep gorge caused when Bonniville Lake burst it's banks 30,000 years ago.
In Twin Falls there is a bridge over the river where they allow base jumping. Base jumping is parachuting from high places without a plane. We went down to look at the bridge and got lucky with several base jumpers leaping from the bridge and trying to land on a target that was below us.
Here are a few pictures.
The last jumper (the first picture) jumped from the railing.
Here is his 'chute opening.
And here is the 'chute open.
After the show at the bridge we went down to Shoshone Falls which is just upstream from where the bridge is. We were not far from where Evil Knienviel tried to jump the Snake River on a rocket powered motorcycle.
After dinner I went to the entrance of the campsite to get some pictures of the sunset.
We are moving again, once again north and west.
