So, I stopped by today during the day, talked to some of the local residents, and checked it out.
We are screwing this up. We all need to change the way we access the tower. There is a BASE access trail through the weeds, the fence is practically ripped open, and the local residents know exactly what is going on, and where the jumpers park. We need to change where we park and stop creating a trail (the keys open the front gate-- please stay on the road).
Here's the deal. I will give a set of keys to every crew (I know of at least five) that jumps the tower and is willing to agree to do so in a low profile manner. I'm calling everyone I can think of who jumps the tower to spread the word. If we all work to minimize our impact (by walking in through the gate, for example, so we don't create a trail), we can keep this object for a long time.
I think we're all grown up enough that we can agree to preserve this shared resource. Let's work on doing this together, and we can all ride the elevator for a long time.
If you are jumping this tower, please call (530 219-0648) or email (tbaiello@mac.com) me. I know that some of the big users don't like me personally. Let's put aside our differences and save our access.
