gofast_ER 0 #1 March 18, 2006 Great dropzone. Awesom camera fliers and editors. I think i finally got at least one of my friends thinking about getting into the sport. Everything was great execpt for the downwind cafe not having any food (just about) and my landing on the sunset load a couple time zones away drom the dz I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

DerekHall 0 #2 March 20, 2006 Just made my first tandem jump at Spaceland on Sunday the 19th. My wife got it for me as my birthday present...but little does she know, I'm now hooked! Definitely going to take it further. I agree with you, gofast - great DZ and great staff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaryshari 0 #3 March 20, 2006 Downwinders Cafe just reopened. Be patient. Food's always been great. I guess it was just your turn to land off. It's just part of the game. When ya coming back??? is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceland had incredible food with Scotty was there, then it wasn't good for a while, then it was ok recently. The last couple of times I've been there its been getting better, but its hard to have DZ food as good as Scotty had. Its still better then what my DZ has for a cafe.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Mike whips up such great feasts! How many DZ’s have home made tzatziki sauce to go on the lamb gyros during Greek week? How about the Pecan Crusted Dijon Tilapia? Mike is a real chef that “cutaway” to spend more time at the DZ. See attached pic! I love Mike’s cooking!"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him.

When ya coming back??? for sure on the 1st. other than that, hopefully as much as possible. Im thinking i might be able to get out there about 2 times a month. Its kinda far though.

scaryshari 0 #11 March 20, 2006 TSL 4 is in July. So, I have a while to salivate. When I was there last summer, I had his chicken wraps...oh my goodness!! Some folks in our group were raving over his burgers as well. Now I'm hungry. By the way...you forgot to attach the pic. is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was cloudy all morning last friday and into the afternoon. I finally got tired of waiting around and said screw it im getting some grub. I said "just watch, as soon as i order food its going to clear up" sure enough no more than 10 seconds after my burger gets put in front of me "load 2 your on a 10 min. call" From what i tasted of the burger it was great. Even though i had to eat it in about 1 minute and left all my fries and over half my coke I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
