Most spectacular drop zone I've ever jumped at was a temporary one, over the Knik glacier in Alaska. Mountains all around you, a terminal lake beneath you, and a glacier snaking back up into the mountains. at the risk of sounding stupid (i'm used to it), what is a terminal lake?"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

A lake that only has water flowing in, not out. But if it only flows in, and never flows out; wouldn't it eventually fill up and overflow? And how come the oceans are all saltwater, but most lakes, streams, rivers, etc are freshwater? And what keeps the water in our stream flowing on the surface versus just seeping into the ground? I could run the hose for days on end and the water just keeps soaking into the soil without creating a stream. Better get this right, cuz my next question is about magnetism; and the show starts in 30 minutes.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #33 March 26, 2009 I agree with Skydive Sebastian for amazing views. Make sure to avoid the golf course thought. I also agree with Skydive Chicago... although I'm very partial. I can't wait for summerfest this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hausse 0 #34 March 26, 2009 The Ranch is definitely the top one. Awesome view over the Gunks and when the leaves change in fall, it's just fantastic. Definitely the best vibe with Skydive Wissota being a very close second and Z-Hills a distant 3rd! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #36 March 27, 2009 For scenery, of the places I've actually jumped: 1) Gap Tallard in France, in a valley at the foot of the Alps - especially early in the season when there still plenty of snow on the mountains, and you're looking down on skiers during the climb to altitude. It's also a strange perspective for those of used to jumping over pretty flat landscapes. Below about 4,000 ft everything suddenly becomes 3D! 2) Umm Al Quwain in the United Arab Emirates. On one side a lagoon and the sea, and on the other the desert. I'm sure there are more spectacular DZs but I haven't jumped at them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
