A group of these guys would cliff jump into the ocean for twenty dollars. It was probably a 150 ft drop at minimum and they would launch from a decrepit, old tree.

The mine dates back to 1895 and was located in what was called the McHaney mining district. Bill Keys started assessment work at this mine in 1916 and it remained in the Keys family for quite some time. It was known as The Black Eagle at that time.
Coming back after an afternoon's fossil hunting. No dinosaurs were found, but lots of rocks with shells and possibly some fossilised coral.

Baodingshan Cliff Carvings, Mount Baoding (Precious Summit), Chongqing, China, 26 April 2009. Created in 1174-1252 under the supervision of Zhao Zhi-feng, an extensive series of Dazu rock carvings (over 6,000) and cave temples reflect a variety of Buddhist doctrines, Confucian ethical and Taoist theories in the Song Dynasty. The remoteness and inaccessibility of this site meant it was unknown to the outside world until the 1980’s and luckily it escaped the destruction of the Cultural Revolution when so many religious and cultural sites were destroyed.
At the San Luis NWR, in Los Banos, California, above the door I noticed some Cliff Swallows starting to build their mud nests. It was quite interesting to see them form their nests. It seemed they were used to people, and they just kept on working. It was taken on April 7th, 2013.
Like most of the National Parks that I have visited in the US, Zion is incredibly accessible. We parked our car and took one of the regular hop-on-hop-off shuttle buses (complete with commentary) that run up and down Zion Canyon Scenic Drive.
