funjumper101 15 #2 August 3, 2006 BAS in Byron is about 25 miles from Stockton. Hwy 4 is a "red road", IE, a two lane road. The Parachute Center in Acampo (just north of Lodi) is about 17 miles north of Stockton, just off Hwy 99. Hwy 99 is a four lane freeway. Both DZs are fine places to jump. If you like to collect interesting signatures in your logbook, make a run up to The Parachute Center and get on a load with Bill Dause. He'll sign your logbook if you ask nicely. He only has over 30,000 jumps. (not a misprint) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianfry713 0 #3 August 3, 2006 Hwy 4 East of Stockton, is also known as "Blood Alley" do to lots of people passing where they shouldn't be. Tracy is a little closer to BAS than Stockton, at around 15 miles to the city center.BASE 1224, Senior Parachute Rigger, CPL ASEL IA, AGI, IGI USPA Coach & UPT Tandem Instructor, PRO, Altimaster Field Support Representative Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #4 August 3, 2006 Tracy is closer. If you are looking for Hotels, try the Holiday Inn in Brentwood. I'll try to get us a skydiver rate on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stitch 0 #5 August 3, 2006 I'll more than likely be getting a pkg. deal through a travel site. One of the cheapest ones is Fairfield in in Tracy. Brentwood, no way, thats where O.J. lives."No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #6 August 3, 2006 That is a different Brentwood in Southern California. This is the closest town to Byron.... besides Discovery Bay.... which is part of our unincorporated township. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I don't think she is, but now she knows that "you was" from the south. Are you going to the Byron Boogie? I might be too.. hrmm... hope they dont have any beans for you to land in.

stitch 0 #9 August 3, 2006 I told Beth that I might try to make "Star Farms", but its to close to another trip I'm taking. The Byron boogie appears to be in October this year, so its a better choice."No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
