Update #25: This wasn't our finest hour...
We had to hike back to town with empty tummies but the real tragedy is, we wasted a perfectly good cucumber.
(and don't worry, we didn't steal it, Jeff left a dollar on the farmer's work bench as we left)

Jeff Waldman is residing in San Francisco, living life and loving cheese. Hanging these illicit swings has gotten him invited to speak at TEDx and earned a grant from The Awesome Foundation, so he keeps pressing on with this project that continues to bring so many people happiness.
A devoted Chicago Cubs fan and filmmaker, Andrew Hartley hung his first swing with Jeff in San Francisco and has been on board with this project ever since.
