yeah people just jump down from the top of the tower and launch the person sitting at the other end of the blob into the air. I've seen/have pics of people flying higher than the tower.. which is a good 25 feet up.

I'm getting a memory card reader today or tomorrow, so I *should* have more and better pics for ya'll then.

And thanks for the compliments

it's pretty um.. amazing to put it bluntly. Something like $32 Mil of private donations went in to building the camp and buying the property. Young Life sure knows how to give kids just about the best week of their life.

And actually Rich that's a different YL camp. This was Crooked Creek Ranch outside Fraser.

Great pics and the camp is really nice too...

I worked at a camp one summer and everyone kept getting hurt on the Blob - severe spinal cord injuries and such - so i"m surprised that any camps still have them.

wow Bullitt! Can I go with you next summer? Remind me why I haven't moved to CO yet?
(I still have great YL memories from my teen years, even though I've never really been "religious". Just fun to have an excuse to get out of the house on Wednesday nights.)

yeah we had more than our share of scares.. but they have put some restrictions and whatnot on the blob since back in the day. 100lbs max weight difference, no double blobbing (two people blobbing one person), and 2 resident EMT's that live on camp along with all 6 of us lifeguards.

:EDIT: I'm also going to NYC this weekend for the Dave Matthews/BNL concert with my bro and my padre. So I'll try my best to get some good city/show pics while I'm there.

*hijack* What is Young Life? I remember a few of the rich kids being involved when I was growing up, but never really knew what it was.

Young Life Pretty much a giant international non-denominational Christian youth organization.

All of the kids that i knew in High School that were involved in Young Life were MEGA rich... they all had these huge houses where they would have YL meetings in their basements.
