My experiences during my summer internship at UAB

Get high, get low.

This last weekend Nate, Noah, myself, and one of Noah's friends took a trip to High Falls. Its name a testament to southern creativity, High Falls is a stream that goes over a 40ft drop. It's actually an amazing geologic formation, and perfect for, well... jumping off of.

Before we got there, however, one of the cars' transmissions exploded so we had a brief detour into smalltown Alabama via tow truck. There wasn't room in the truck for all 4 of us, so Noah and Nate rode the rest of the way in the bed.

Once we got there, the weather was perfect, hot but sometimes overcast. Just as we were leaving a huge rainstorm started, so the drive back was interesting.




Nate would take 10-15 minutes to get the "courage" to jump

I jumped off once from where that person's legs are on the above picture. But that was enough. I guess not getting scared/freaking out made the experience less thrilling for me or something. Plus hitting the water hurts.
