Besides a snake bite, thankfully no one got hurt!
Craving adventure and making some real memories, @brianphobos and I recently went on a little trip. While we have both jumped from much higher cliffs, and @brianphobos even broke a tooth during a jump once, Devil's Backbone was worth the trip.
We brought a small pile of @little-peppers as well, and they had a blast too. While there, @brianphobos even located a water snake, and while I was not able to successfully capture it, I was still able to successfully get bit by it. If you saw Brian's recent post about getting whale upvotes, this is the spot where he shot that video and took those photos.
It is also the same place where he gave my Little Peppers his old whale from his "Pool Meetings." We had a wonderful time, a lot of fun, and made some memories for sure. Also, this may be one of the "best" videos that I've ever put out, so fee free to give it a watch. Thanks!
CLIFF JUMPING "DEVIL'S BACKBONE" WITH @BRIANPHOBOS
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-danger
Hope you both did enjoy that trip but sorry for the @brianphobos broken tooth. @papa-pepper - Is he OK now?

The broken tooth was actually form a cliff jump I did in 2016 at Havasu Falls Arizona. It was a 50 footer. Pretty amazing place. Then I went down to Mexico to get it fixed!

That would be a great place to have a big Adventure seeker Steemian meetup! The hike in is 10 miles and there are tons of cool spots there! It takes awhile to get the reservations to go down there.
Are there any good cliffs at the Lake of the Ozarks?

Man, that looks like a lot of fun. It does look scary though. This shot had me clinching. I thought you were going to hit.

Your post title wasn't "I broke my freaking body jumping off the devil's backbone... I should have stayed firmly planted in the Lord" so I figured you were ok. Ha ha ;)

Haha, @papa-pepper I see you and them @little-pepper having fun. Just look how you cling onto the back of the whale like a 6 years old child but I really love it that you're getting along with both the kids and the animals.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful moments and also I saw your hand work. I really appreciate a lot!!

It is really amazing how much content we got out of just a couple of days! I just plugged in an external hard drive and hopefully I can get on Whaleshares and WEKU now. I try to keep my keys away from my laptop and right now I don't have my desktop set up.

Any cliff dive you can swim away from after is a good one. :-)

You guys and gals are all braver than I, there is no way I'd jump off that cliff, I'm not a fan of heights at all. :D It looks like you all have a fun day though with all those wonderful smiles. :D So glad you didn't get hurt when the snake bit you, I bet it startled you though, it would have startled the heck out of me, LOL. :D
God bless you and your fantastic family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
