You think an open cockpit real flying? What would You think if the the door is not existent in this plane https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonow_An-2#/media/File:Antonov_2.jpg , You stand on this not existent door and wait till the drop master say "Jump!"? 
Greetings
P.S.: Only thing is the plane I jumped off was a czech military one and I wore only a shirt and cargo pants in about 1000 metres hight. Ah yes! And the drop master told us to jump for the red cross what should lay there in the grass. Only - there was no cross to be seen - nowhere. But if You first were floating on the parachute and a few hundred metres lower You started to see that damn thing - it was sooo tiny.

These pictures are from Ceaser's Head State Park in South Carolina, near the North Carolina Border... Elevation is about 3100 feet, These were taking in 2011 when I could still somewhat move...lol, thats is my wife Melissa and I am behind the camera... Beautiful Mountains as @Meat Grinder has said, I guess your about 90-100 miles up the road from there MeatG, then the elevations go up to 4500... yea buddy....
In the first picture there is a big lake right off Melissa's elbow on the railing, Table Rock Reservoir.
Plus this is a cool little link to the area HERE ... (wish we had some of that capabilities with maps for the designers in CM...its always a pain reading the topo map's grids )

Gosh I really love that wedding picture....Thats the way to do it buddy.... I got married in the judge chambers in Nazareth Pa. His name Judge Elmo T. Fry... when he took his robe off after the ceremony he was dressed in his Hunting Garb... jumped in 1.5 ton Bowtie and went off to the woods.... lol... We laughed about that for days.... Hell the two witnesses we didnt know (court employees)
Judge Elmo T. Fry. C'mon! Your makin' that up!
He he, the epitome of "Good ol' boy" We have a urologist up here named Richard Tapper...no shit Dick Tapper
Well, we (used to) have a Dr. Molar (dentist) here and a dermatologist named Dr. Rash. I shit you not.
Hey. Did not know you used to reside in PA!

Nice pics. Nice pond. Looks man made. Is that in your backyard?

Thank you, and yes, to both questions. Farm ponds are popular in this area, rather than having a pool. I have 2 acres of property, my neighbor west of me has 3, to the east has 2 as well. Here are a couple different views. We did a bit of landscaping to it when we moved in, it was kinda "Blah". 2nd pic is of my son and grandson, it's stocked with bluegill, catfish, largemouth bass, and hybrid bass. Its only a 1/4 acre so the fish don't get real big.
