University of South Carolina Fountain (Columbia, South Carolina):
Jumper: Scott Nordlund
Comment: The water was a gross cloudy green, but it felt great anyway on a hot afternoon- definately a more pleasant experience than I had anticipated.
After that I continued my trip to the grocery store in wet clothes.

Spitting Frogs (Detroit, Michigan):
Jumper: Sue Lott
Comment: Pictures of Sue in the frog fountain at the Detroit zoo for Jeff's tribute. It was cold. And technically, one is allowed to play in this fountain. But the frogs spit at you and that's pretty excellent.
We miss Jeff in Detroit too.

Whale of a Fountain (Corpus Christi, Texas):
Jumper: Dan King
Comment: Photo was taken on vacation at Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. 10/1/05 Its a whale fluke, and its supposed to simulate a diving whale. It was about 94 degrees, and the water was beautifully cool. My girlfriend and her kids looked at me like I was insane, but after I told them why I was doing it, they really chilled out and thought it was cool. Amazing what the proper sentiment will do. I actually have never been in a fountain before, and I felt a little like a character in a Fitzgerald novel! I knew Jeff only online, but he made me realize that what I thought was a stupid hobby done only by a New Mexico hillbilly was actually huge. Miss you Ninj!

Speaking Rock Casino Fountain (El Paso, Texas):
Jumper: Lisa Schrader, Kristen and Chris
Photographer: Dan King
Comment from Dan King: These photos were taken November 12, 2005 in El Paso Texas. I suppose you could call this fountaineering, as we made the trip especially for Jeff. In a way, we got both of his hobbies rolled into one, because this fountain is part of the abandoned Speaking Rock Casino, so we got fountain and abandonment! Anyway, the group photo is my girlfirend Lisa Schrader, with her kids Kristen and Chris. The water was very cold, and they were not getting in.
