Skyspirit 0 #1 May 25, 2005 Hi, I am jumping in my car and going west DZ by DZ, Been in the sport for 2 years, 221 jumps and looking to pull the rug out from under my life and reach out into the more exspansive world than my little corner of NY. What DZ are you a part of? Where are you located? What else do you do beside skydive? Looking to be challenged, make connections and be free! Wow! Here we go......."Blow wind come wrack, at least we'll die with harness on our back." William Shakespeare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #2 May 25, 2005 I am all the way over on the other side of the country near Seattle.. Kapowsin is the place to be out here. Summer is AWSUm with spectacular views.. and the best jumpship in WA....the Super Otter. On the way across the country you could stop at the Lost Prairie Boogie.. a whole week of some of the best parties and skydiving that there is.. with nearly perfect weather..low humidity... nice and warm.. cool nights..and the airplanes from Skydive AZ and afternoons spent in the crytsal clear waters of the lakes...come on out ahd hang. Besides skydiving.. In Aug I usually spend some time sailing on my boat at the mouth of the Columbia River and we usually throw a few salmon in the cooler while doing it.

Brian425 0 #6 May 25, 2005 Hiedi, You are making me happy and sad. So happy to see you go out and take on a big adventure, sad to see you leave. Is you foot healed yet? Whichever DZ you stay at will be very lucky to have you visit. Heidi will bring a sense of calm and happiness to any DZ. All the best Heidi!!

Definitely do Illinois BIG time, we have lots here. After you leave the DZ's in the Chicago area, come to Quad Cities, we're at the junction of Interstates 80 and 74. Quad Cities Skydiving Center is here, you can stay with me. If you head north, go to the Superior Skydivers, and stay with my husband. We are both pretty easy to get along with. If you come to the WFFC, come early and help us set up, it's loads of fun, and really neat people from all over the world show up to join in the work/party. We start working July 29th, in Rantoul.

I recently resigned from my job, got out of a long term relationship and decided that I need to get away from New Jersey for a while before I go insane. So I am packing up my SUV and heading out Friday. I have no real plans set, but I am goingto travel from DZ to DZ, jump, camp, meet people and find myself. I hope to start out heading southto Florida and then to the west coast, looping back hitting the central states and a few northern. I figure I will be gone for a month maybe more. I will be going alone (since no one I know can just take off with me), which is good and bad. So, not to steal this thread..But, anyone fun who wants to invite me to hang out or whatever feel free to give me a shout. Skyspirit, if you want to split gas you can catch a ride with me.
