    Has this been done before?

    Don't know what to call it, but I was wondering if anyone had started a thread and a challenge for hanging in unusual places. I'm thinking of silly activities like slinging a hammock between the stairs of the local courthouse, or across the entrance to the local police station. Just quick enough to jump in, have someone take a photo and jump out again. I can get a hammock set up in 12 seconds and down again in 5 seconds (biners and whoopie slings) so from start to finish in under 30 seconds (including the photo).

    I slung one on a busy traffic island a while ago. Can't find the photo though so I may have to get out there and do some more.

    Points for doin' it and posting a photo, extra points if you stop there long enough to make a brew. I'll have to think of a prize.

    Anybody done this? Anybody up for the challenge?

    Please don't hang any higher than you are willing to fall.

    Those hanging under a bridge pictures freak me out.
