Bridge Jumping

A few summers ago the river that flows through my town was at a record high. It was over flowing many people that lived close to the river had to leave their house cause of the overflowing river. My friends and me loved it. Rafting trips where sooo fun. There is a park where we live where two rivers connect and there is a bridge pretty high over one of the rivers. We knew this year was our chance to jump from the bridge into the river. We got our life jackets and hanged from the bottom of the bridge to see if it was deep enough, and it was. We finally jumped from the very top. I don't really know how high it was but it was high enough to make u want to scream. Jumping was half of the adventure. You went deep down the river and it was a very strong current. You where under the water a good 10 seconds that felt like a minute. When you finally got your head out of the water you were swimming down a rocky strong river. It was a big challenge swimming to the side. The first time I jumped the moment I hit the water I felt a rush and started swimming for my life hit a few rocks but pain didn't process through my mind. We did that all day till it all came to a end. I guess it's illegal to jump of bridges.
