schattenjaeger 0 #1 November 30, 2003 It's about an hour for me:( If I had picked another college I had been interested in, it'd be like half that, but I wasn't doing this at that time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottjaco 0 #2 November 30, 2003 90 minutes from Los Angeles. Eastbound, I can go to Perris/Elsinore. If I want to got North it's still 90 minutes to Skydive Taft or Cal City. Any way you go your screwed! I don't understand why they can't open a dropzone in Valencia out by Six Flags. That would be so convinient! It's wide open land and it's close in! I know land is expensive but look at Skydive San Diego, they are really close to the city! scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jceman 1 #17 November 30, 2003 To the store/dz in Sebastian to jump/"work" -- 123 miles To Deland just for fun jumping -- 31 Miles.To bandit beach jumps into Snack Jack's -- 1.8 miles. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigM 2 #18 November 30, 2003 Depending on which DZ I go to, it's 2:00 - 2:45 one way. And I have driven that far knowing I was only going to be able to get in just one jump. Yep, I am a sad individual. I just drove to the DZ this past Friday, got there about 10:00 a.m. and stayed until Saturday night. Got in a whopping 2 jumps- only 2 loads that went up- due to the wind.
