It takes me a little less than an hour and a half to get to the dz. I make the drive every weekend, it's definately worth it, although I always complain about the long drive, but it seems some people drive much further to jump! I need to stop complaining.

My dropzone is 260.7km's from my driveway, so just over 2 hours. Its worth it.

1.5hr drive friday night, then a few drinks
wake up a few hours later
jump (20 minutes up, few minutes down)
30mins to calm down
1.5hr drive back (seems like 3)

I don't have the luxury yet of more than one jump at a time due to being a student....

Yeah I used to live 5 mins from that DZ as well. I'd HIGHLY recommend making a trip out to Jumptown. From my house (when I lived in RI) it was 1 1/2 hours take 146 NORTH to Worcester, get on 290 EAST to 190 NORTH, take Route 2 WEST and get off at EXIT 16.

I've jumped at all the DZ's in NE and made that one home, the people there are simply the best I've encountered anywhere in the country.

7 miles to my EX-home DZ at Pell City during the pre-ASC days, but now I'm a lot happier driving an extra 70 miles to Skydive Alabama in Cullman.

If that large group from Tallahassee would drive 4 hours to get to The Farm, bypassing ASC along the way, then The Farm must be worth a visit too...

No one said I wouldn't visit The Farm when I get back to jumping, but ASC is still my home. I plan on visiting Skydive Atlanta too. ASC is where I learned and that's where my heart lies.

My usual DZ is about 20 mins from my house. However, right now it's about a 24 hour plane ride. (I'm in Iraq until March)

If I drive fast enough to go to jail, about an hour and 15 minutes.

If I drive like a sane person, about an hour and 45 minutes (although I don't think I have ever done that).

Life is best lived one jump at a time.

I didn't say you wouldn't. I meant it would be worth the visit for me. Sorry if I was not clear earlier. I did jump at ASC a few years ago until I realized what the owners were doing, and I've sworn off the DZ ever since, no matter how cool the place seems.

I am about an hour 15 to an hour 30 from SDC. (From downtown Chicago) But I don't even own a car so when I decide to go to the dz I gotta go rent a car first! Man, I must really love this sport!

The DZ I started at took me more than 3 hours to get to every weekend. The DZ I jump at now only takes me a half hour at the most.

It takes me 45 to 50 minutes for me to get to ASC. I think the mileage is 40.5 or something like that.

Do you realise that is less than 1 mile per hour, What do you drive a john deere
