+4leafclover Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) If anyone knows the (multiple) stories of me and my falls...it will come as no surprise that area cachers were afraid THIS was me. needless to say...my fall into a ravine did not require a rescue mission....

+Rdut&Gabwp Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 LOL. I just read this on WHIOTV.com. The woman is a student at WSU (Wright State University). I was wondering if she was geocaching! Quote Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 apparently not...they were "vine swinging"... Quote Link to comment
+Rdut&Gabwp Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 To a geocache? LOL. That would have to be a difficulty level of at least a 4! Vine swinging to a cache located in the side of a mountain. Ouch. Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 How about the related story?! I wonder if that's not a geocacher who actually made it to the top with the vine! Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 apparently not...they were "vine swinging"... Vine swinging?? (2MB AVI) (That's Special Ed providing the entertainment) Quote Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 How about the related story?! I wonder if that's not a geocacher who actually made it to the top with the vine! That's a pretty freaky sound. Worth the click on the link. Might even be worth a 'haunted' cache. Quote Link to comment
+Old Cavendish Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (That's Special Ed providing the entertainment) Nice. The "snap", IS worth it! Quote Link to comment
+WhatsRNutts Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) I used to love vine swinging as a kid living in the back woods of mississippi Edited August 23, 2005 by wreckelite Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (That's Special Ed providing the entertainment) Nice. The "snap", IS worth it! Man, if he had gone about 4 or 5 feet more... <snap>.........<splash!> Hopefully that was after you guys found the cache! Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 At one of my former residences, there was a huge swinging vine the 'hood kids used for swinging over a 20 ft., steep and rocky ravine. One day I heard a sickening thump. Medical personal had some difficulty accessing the injured kid. The results included three broken ribs, a broken wrist, a broken shoulder blade and a fractured eye socket. The kid, a prominent football player spent about three weeks in critical condition, and I sure many months of physical therapy. Bottom line: Don't swing on vines if you value your body.

+4leafclover Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think I have yet to come across the vine that I trust to hold my weight. Quote Link to comment
+Langner91 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (That's Special Ed providing the entertainment) That'll come in handy the next time he feels the need to take my Alma Mater's name in vain. Was the snapping sound immediately preceded by the statement "Hey Y'all, Watch This!"??? Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think I have yet to come across the vine that I trust to hold my weight. Funny, I used to swing on that same vine. My weight being considerably more than the 12 year old kid's. I trusted it many times, always wondering why at the same time. Actually, I'm probably lucky it wasn't me swinging when the vine came down. I'm sure my injuries would have been much more serious. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think I have yet to come across the vine that I trust to hold my weight. True that. The vines we have in Idaho are likeley to have rattles and bite. Quote Link to comment
+The Waldo's Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 That's a pretty freaky sound. Worth the click on the link. Might even be worth a 'haunted' cache. This happened to me while I was hunting for a cache and it was freaky. coyote call ? Quote Link to comment
