AndyMan 7 #1 April 21, 2002 0:0:1The weather in Illinois sucked, so I went for a road trip down to Archway. Their weather forcast looked moderately less sucky then in Chicago. The forcast was wrong.... friggin 400 foot ceilings all day.1st time at Archway. Met some way cool peeps. Had an awsome time partying last night, even though we couldn't get the hot tub suite... Doh!The Archway crowd is awsome. Even though we didn't jump, I did have a wonderful time._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinkster 0 #6 April 21, 2002 0:4:3Did first hop-n-pop and jump from a cessna at 5k. Also spotted for the jump too which was my first real spot. (Usually jump from super twin otter.) Was pretty damn scary getting out that low although I know in reality it isn't low but too me it looked low! In any case I was under a fully inflated canopy by like 4,300. Also once my main was deployed I watched the jumpmaster who followed me out fall below me for a long time it was pretty freaky at that angle it looked like he was going to hit. Very cool.
