🚨 Update! 🚨 It appears we have a window of opportunity until late afternoon when it appears the next rain storm may hit. We have decided to β€˜open up the pit’ to anyone who would like to come jump. We have decided to make a β€˜hard stop’ time of 3:00 in order for us to get the set-up torn down and packed up before the next rain storm, but will monitor the weather real time to adjust that target hard stop.

We have no definitive idea on how to orchestrate the jumping other than to just let vaulters jump, but depending on how many vaulters show up we can possibly figure something else out. We just need to be conscious that closing the pit may happen at any time, again, depending on weather and time to get the set-up torn down.

This is our last effort to at least get some jumping in! Please join us if you can. We again apologize for this inconvenience!
