SullyFlyer 0 #1 January 15, 2004 Hi everybody. I'm new to the sport and to the forums. I've been lurking for a little while, but here's my introduction: I did my first jump in Aug03 in Maine and went to DeLand, Florida on xmas day with 40 jumps. Now I'm back up north with 92 jumps and a couple hours of tunnel time (That thing rocks!). It was pretty obvious for me after my first jump that I'm here to stay. I had my own rig before I got my A License. This sport is awesome, but the people are the best part. (It's all about people and gravity I guess.) I also like Backpacking and I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail starting in April04. I'll be done in time for the WFFC. ~ Fear is the thief of dreams...

SullyFlyer 0 #6 January 16, 2004 No, no web page, not a lot of RJ45 jacks in the trees in the Appalachian Mountains. But it's nice to hear that someone else has a Life's To Do List. Thanks for the greetings all. It's nice to be in the mix. ~ Fear is the thief of dreams... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SullyFlyer 0 #10 January 17, 2004 Yeah, I know of lots of sites that describe gear they used, miles hiked, where they stayed, and the great people they met along the way. I don't think I'll put up a site like that after my hike, but I do plan to create a journal so it's a possibility. I did just find out that I have to hike faster than expected because the WFFC starts on the 6th. I was planning to finish on the 19th (my birthday) but now I'm changing my plan to accomodate my new addiction. ~ Fear is the thief of dreams...
