Were do you think is the best place to Vault? I know its not in Michigan with our crazy weather. I think Vaulting on a Beach in Cali would be awesome.

Wisconsin is great over all. Some times it gets so cold that you can’t feel your hands but that is early in the season when the sun starts to go down. It’s also windy sometimes but I have PRed in the wind. Sometimes I don’t even know it’s windy until another vaulter points it out, so I kinda learned how to vault in the Wisconsin weather.

Hughes Stadium no comparison

Then Woodcreek HS it's about 30 mins from Sacramento.

Well, if we're talking about Sacramento...Bella Vista on a summer's evening is not too shabby. ;)
