[Texascavers] 424 meters - new world record

I do not believe this is bungee-jumping. https://youtu.be/iQ0qAW6CUK0 I believe it involves calculated loads of dynamic rope and swinging and a bit of gambling with one's life. I am pretty sure that two A.S.S. cavers did this off of a 30 foot bridge in 1987. Ask Lee Perry of Albuquerque.

"The quiet area" you speak of was very sparse. When I pulled in, there were maybe three or four other campers, all spaced quite far from each other. It was a very quiet area until you parked your cot 15 feet outside of my window and woke my baby up before 6AM. It did not help to see your ass.
