Please leave footprints only

First I'd like to say I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Now to the serious stuff. I've been reading this site for the past two and a half years and have seen this topic discussed before but it looks like some people just don't care about burning sites. A couple of nights ago I took a trip out to a local object and found a few signs that jumpers had been there before. Not all of the following offenses occured but I don't want to say exactly which ones did for fear of narrowing down site. When you visit a site PLEASE DO NOT cut barb wire, locks, fences, grass, rake grass, break windows, dig, install platforms, or leave trash behind. I found three of these at the site. When I travel, I always try to contact local jumpers about sites. Remember, locals will know best about all the ins and outs of a site and what the bust factors are. I don't claim this particular site as mine but I bet my partner and I jump it more on a regular basis than anyone else. If anyone where to contact us we'd be more than happy to meet new jumping friends and take them out. Hell, we'd even provide the green bottles and bud for afterward. I have to much money in gear and time invested to lose this site. Just my $.02. Flame away if you must but remember "What comes around, goes around" If you burn this site, I may not be the one to burn your site but one day someone will come along and burn your's. Peace! Go Big!:P

Good points, FLsurfer, good points indeed!
If I may dare, I would add the following.
PLEASE DO NOT:
· jump STANDING on top of handrail >( and clearly visible from the upper part of "wind-breaker" barrier by cars passing by, when (and it is!!!) possible to jump from seated position onto the handrail (with nearly zero visibility by cars), having the plus of better pushing off the object when you exit. To better define the present point: PLEASE DO MINIMIZE exposure to public WHENEVER is possible (and sometimes safer!!!) :-)
Just my 0.02€.

Stay safe out there

Yea..... But what do you do when you arrive at your site and find evidence that someone other than BASE jumpers have been there? And you know this because you are certain you and your partner are the only jumpers there.
The only thing worse than cleaning up after careless BASE jumpers is cleaning up after careless non jumpers. If your a non jumper and reading this, pick up your Billy Bob beer cans or find another place to party!!!
