Letter: Skydiving

May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
In response to 'Sound Off: What's on your bucket list?' (5/22), something I was able to recently cross-off on my bucket list was to go skydiving. I went this fall at the Tooele Airport and it was one of the most scary, crazy and incredible things I've ever done. I don't think I've ever felt so much adrenaline and excitement before, and once I was free-falling it was just complete euphoria.
