So I wander over by myself the last day, have no one to leave my stuff with ( glasses,keys, etc). Finding every reason to just say screw it, finally I lay my stuff down climb up to the top jump (35' or so) and the guy tells me I have to go off the lower one first, I reply with all due respect that I jump every so many years when I visit since 1979. He then tells me I have to make a donation in his bucket and also jump off the lower level or no jump. I hadn't brought any money since I was alone and he basically told me to step down. Very Sad. Its nothing but a big tourist trap anymore but it made me sad.
