Jerome, Idaho

Jerome, Idaho.  Wow!  I had not heard of Jerome before they sent us shirts for the troops.  Now, I look forward to the next time I can visit. 

These are some of the nicest people you can hope to meet.  They are fun loving and hardworking, and I respect all of them for these values.

They had been watching the journal and were trying to figure out what they had to stack up against the alligator.  I think they did just fine!  Turns out one of their claims to fame, is being the only place in the country that has free, legal, base jumping.

They have a local guy, Mark Ripley, who jumps just about every day ... and as we held our breath, he took Stunt Bear on the fall of her life!  And he returned her unmarked back to my arms.  I cannot imagine how he does what he does, but it was one of the most thrilling things I have ever seen!

There will be more about Jerome, just wanted to get the photos up for you all to enjoy.
