This is a little fun that I had with Alex a couple of years ago on the bridge leading into Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary (see post Kayaking the Oxbow). Chris and I saw a couple of kids jumping off this bridge on an earlier kayak trip, and we thought that Alex would love it; and he did! Later in the summer we took a bunch of the neighborhood kids and off they went. Unfortunately, on one trip we took a beaver came swimming out of the Sanctuary right under the bridge and it spooked Alex badly. He actually thought it was an alligator; but no matter what he thought it was he saw, he was not bridge jumping there anymore, and he hasn't. But it was good fun while it lasted--we tried to get Chris to do it but she wasn't going there, and no, I ain't doing it either.
Below I've included a video of my sister's family jumping off a rock somewhere in Baxter State Forest in Maine. They hike and camp there a few times a year. Naturally, Alex is dying to try this jump:
