azdav 0 #27 January 15, 2007 Quote do you think I need to wear UnderArmour? Definately, this Sunday was 18-25 degrees @ 13.5K. I'd suggest booking your tunnel time before 6pm even though the waiting room is heated so it's not too bad. Hope it warms up for your visit and I'd like to have some warmer airtime myself this weekend. There's Grande Valley Golf course just a few miles from the DZ, you'll get to see it from the air. The Duke golf course is in Maricopa, not too far and fairly inexpensive. A few miles away in Arizona City there is another course about $35-40 a round. Picacho Peak is only a half hour away and a pretty challenging hike. Noooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! M.P.F.C.

Take along a portable ultraviolet light and go take a walk in the desert and see what glows in the dark ( scorpions light up like a christmas tree ornament) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites HeadLicker 0 #29 January 15, 2007 The movie theatre in (I think) Casa Grande is free to skydivers. All you have to do is say you are a skydiver and they just tell you to go in and pick a movie. No proof needed.

By the way, awesome tip about the movie theater. Good to know for rainy days, as someone mentioned.

It takes about 1 hour, and even if you only make it up 20 minutes or so, it is still far enough to get a great view. Alternatively, a great view is also had by driving to the top of South Mountain. Wouldn't stay up there much past sunset though.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
