Nice pics, thanks for sharing.
Ive been there a few times myself, always wanted to go on bridge day but never made it. Thought that would be cool to watch them jump off .
 
Great pics Dave. You guys picked a great weekend to go, probably one of the last good ones until next year! Damn, that bridge sure is high up....
 
Great Pictures.
I've also been there more than a few times.
I actually did the white water rafting trip 3 times (upper river once and lower river twice).
 
the weather was perfect,no doubt...we were lucky because we planned it about 6 weeks ago.the bridge is almost 900 feet high if i remember correctly.we were talking to someone about the bridge day and they said there were around 1800 people signed up to base jump from it.the ride down was really nice,we went 33 east to 16 south to 60 to 19.nice scenery.
