Dangerous things you did as a teen. There was a diving cliff in the lake next to ours.
We camped there once but mostly went just for the day. I thought I was really brave jumping 40 feet of a sheer face into the water then one time I went there and there were people diving off the top of the rock at more than 60 feet. When I say diving I mean head first diving. I had a nikon camera that would take repeated pictures and in the time it took the diver to hit the water I got three shots of him. Absolutely amazing. Don't try this at home.

1. Tie a rope to the bridge on the Eau Claire-
during a spring flood, jump in and hold on for dear life. It was all we could do to not get swept away.

6. My sister and I hitchhicked on time in Banff. We ended up on the laps
of two out of three Park Wardens in a pick up truck. They got a big kick outta it. We were less amused.
