I wasn't even going to do a vlog on Idaho, but I enjoy Twin Falls so much, and

to 不定詞

we did so much that now I need to talk about it because I love it.

So there's two things that I wanted to do at Twin Falls.

It was just like an overnight stay that we were doing because it was on a road trip from Glacier National Park to Vegas, and

Twin Falls was like that midpoint to break it up a bit.

So we're like, you know what, let's just go check out the bridge and the Shoshone Falls that they have.

And I was thinking, I don't know, we would spend like 30 minutes to an hour tops at both of these locations because it's just like, I just thought you just view it and then you just go.

First of all, Param Bridge, the Param Memorial Bridge, was so cool because they have base jumpers there.

He was like, "Hey, look, they have—" I don't know what you noticed.

What did you notice that made you think they had base jumpers?

Somebody in the back of the truck had a backpack.

So it was like, in back of a truck was like this huge propeller kind of machine thing that you put on your back.

So he knew that that's what you use to jump off the bridge with.

And then we started seeing people on the grass kind of like folding up something, like something long, and

then realized that those were parachutes.

They're packing that so intricately, by the way.

They were doing that for a good hour, just folding everything nicely and packing it up intricately.

And there was maybe, I don't know, a group of seven of them that were on this grass doing that.

So then we started walking around the bridge, or there were some interpretive signs there, and

one of them explained that that bridge specifically, a lot of base jumpers come there because they don't have to have a permit to do it.

I guess everywhere else you do have to have a permit to do the base jump, but

this is the only place where you don't have to.

So they have people from all over the world come and do these base jumps every day, for all day.

So anytime you come to that bridge, as long as it's not that windy, you will see base jumpers.

Us there for an hour or so, we saw five to six of them.

So as we were walking along the side of the bridge, because there's lots of walking points along the rim of the canyon, you can walk around it to get different angles of the bridge.

As we were walking along it, we ran across this lovely man.

he was giving us all the info about these base jumpers in Idaho in general, or Twin Falls in general.

So he was telling us, yes, every day there's base jumpers here.

And his friend, Jonathan Cox, it was his name, broke the Guinness Book of World Records of doing 102 base jumps within 24 hours.

We caught the first guy halfway through, and

he was already kind of halfway done because we didn't notice him going off the bridge.

But then later on, we caught more of the base jumpers, and it was so cool to see.

You can actually see them walking up because they have to go up the stairs to go up to the walkway on the bridge.

And we actually did walk that just to see what it was like.

But as we were walking along that bridge, it's actually kind of scary.

Also, it rattles because there are cars going by and big trucks, so it does shake a lot.

And then you have to go up on this ledge and then balance out and then jump off.

So yeah, going up there kind of gives you even more of a perspective of how scary it is to do it.

But yeah, we noticed up on the ledge where they jump from, in the middle section, they have—what is it?

So then they can balance out a little bit easier because otherwise it's super slick.

And then you see all these cool stickers, like base jumpers or whatever it was.

I forgot what it all said, but it was kind of cool.

It's like their community saying they're badasses, which they are.

This one guy, he did a backflip multiple times.

But you could see, when I saw him go up the stairs, I could see that he had so much confidence in him.

And then you could tell other people are a little bit nervous, obviously.

I mean, that would be so terrifying for me.

The other girl spent like an hour and a half or something just preparing her backpack and never jumped.

Yeah, she never jumped because it also depends on the wind too.

If it's too windy, you're not going to do it.

So they were kind of scoping it out to make sure, like, oh, is it good or is it not?

And I think the girl was going to do it, but

at the last minute, when they were looking down, she decided not to, but

And yeah, he kind of went right off because he's the one that we followed because we wanted to be right next to him to see from that perspective what it was like.

Everybody landed right in the grass or in the bushes.

But yeah, we got to see five to six of them.

And we could have seen more if we stayed a little bit longer because we saw three more people going up and doing the same base jump.

But yeah, it was the coolest thing to see.

And then another fun fact about this bridge is Evil Knievel, right?

So he actually did this daredevil jump because that's what he's known for.

And that was in, I forgot, 1974 or something like that.

Oh, it's named Param because the guy, Ida Burton Param, was his name, but
