Today we had to head up to
Ruch to pick up two of our kids from an overnighter at the church. We left the house a little early to go up to a
spot where we see a lot of paragliders gliding over these mountains. We have been seeing them for the past 15 years
on our way to church but never ventured up to see where they were jumping off
of. So this morning was a day that we
decided to go up and check it out. On
this day it was a little foggy and it had just rained so we had a feeling there
were not be much jumpers on this day. I
was so happy about this because on the way up there were a lot of blind curves
and very narrow roads.
Here is a picture of the
jumping spot. It was so high up that I
am finding that the older I get the more chicken I am. I told my youngest so who is 10 to be very
careful and stay away from the edge as it was a straight down cliff. He said "don't worry mom, if I fall off I
have my tooth brush, tooth paste and water." I had to laugh. Oh boy -- I was ready to go back down to
safety.
From what I understand
people come from all over the world to this jumping spot. I have to admit -- There is no where like Oregon Southern Oregon
is breath taking with the mountains and views.
We even saw snow this morning!
