brits17 0 #26 January 24, 2005 Can't wait to try again... On the treck home, we stopped at our local A. If the conditions were like that over the weekend, we would have been popping champagne in celebration. Oh well, till next time... stay safe and track hard _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JOY 0 #27 January 25, 2005 Right on. This was a great trip just for me to see at least 3 generations of BASE jumpers from all over. Joy and I see all these names on BASE applications and on the Zone, but it was cool to connect a few faces with names. Everyone was positive and after an hour of dirt dives it even convinced an old fart like me that we had good air and good separation. Utah did a great job. Also thanks to an old friend for putting us up. You just can't fool mother nature. It was a good time and a great task to get this many folks together.

FIREFLYR 0 #28 January 26, 2005 ...Although it was disappointing that Mom decided not to let us jump meeting everyone,and seeing everyone again was well worth the trip! Next time! Werd! ~J"One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
douggie 0 #29 January 26, 2005 What I learned from the trip: 1. It gets cold on the top of an antenna at night. 2. Drinking beer at 8am is a great way to start the morning, or in our case, end the day. 3. When a group of chemically imbalanced people (ie. ADD, OCD, CRAZY, etc.) are put together, something great is going to happen. 4. Campfires rock! Other than that I had a blast meeting everyone. Much thanks to the hospitality of the locals and the organizers who put this shindig together. Doug edit: Location reference removed. If this may be attempted again, best to keep it as under cover as possible. ~TA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
460 0 #30 January 26, 2005 Definitely a surreal fun trip even though mother nature wasn't too cooperative. Thanks to the organizers and our host for all their efforts. Great meeting everyone.Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgladish 0 #31 January 27, 2005 Thanx to everyone who helped me in a time of violent sickness. Everyone was very understanding. Aside from that, I had a blast!! Next time we'll all be on the look out for the elusive yet vomit seeking picklefish. Thanx to all. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #35 February 1, 2005 Rather than let this devolve into yet another rehashing of the LeroyDB saga, I'm going to lock this thread. I'm rather tired of policing this. John, if you persist in trying to bring this up on this forum, I will ban you.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
