Jump. Because.

 
 

"I jump for home sweet home!" -Paul

Snake Mountain, Boone, North Carolina

 
 

"I love this one. Doesn't it look like I'm flying off the mountain? There's a 200 ft drop at the edge of the rocks. It has occurred to me that I'll probably perish one day from one of these jumps, but that thought hasn't stopped me yet. Knock on all kinds of wood." -Greg

"We jump for ridiculous stories, catching up, Mary's (of course!), being as silly as we were 7 years ago, for memories of free sweet tea in the Mag room. Most of all, we jump for this place where we all became friends. We also jump to congratulate Megan on her engagement and for being excited about all things in the future!" -Hanna, Kristine, Megan, Jolly, Kathryn, and Lily
