In reference to another post.....at least I don't live in Blue Balls country. But if I win the bicycle, make sure you don't think the trip is over in Poughkeepsie, Arkansas. You have to bring it to New York............State! But "The Ranch" is nearby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #29 August 4, 2014 Nope, no bicycle on the National "need not be present to win" list. That's definitely a local prize. Sorry. We do have a ton of cool local prizes every year too. That's what makes it even more fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #39 August 16, 2014 Okay, Remi, the drawing is tomorrow. I have all my fingers crossed for you but we sold a LOT of tickets today. Vskydiver sends her love. We had a great day today, cloudy in the morning but almost 20 loads in the afternoon into the evening, with a beautiful sunset head down load. Tomorrow should be even better. For those of you that can make it, we have salmon, smoked trout, kegs of beer, all the makings of a great feast tomorrow night. I got the mail tonight and have gotten tickets in the drawing for all. Thanks again to everyone, both sponsors and people buying the tickets, for all your support. Wish you all could be here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valinda said we raised close to 20K for medical research, with $ still coming in from matching funds, corporate and charity tandem jumps. All you guys are the best.

JohnMitchell 16 #50 August 18, 2014 On a very sad note, one that I'm afraid we're all too familiar with, a visiting jumper, Ryan Erickson, lost his life in a high performance canopy accident early Sunday afternoon. He was a respected jumper and tandem master with close to 1000 jumps. Very many people are grieving tonight. He will be deeply missed. Everyone be careful out there, okay?
