darkwing 5 #1 April 11, 2003 I have a tentative notion to drive from the east coast to Lost Prairie, MT for their boogie, 19-28 July. Anyone interested in a road trip? I live in Charleston, SC. My dates are flexible. I will consider your car or my car. If we drive yours I will contribute generously to expenses (for gas, etc, but I won't fix your car if it breaks). -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its definately something you have to check out!!! RoyThey say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites homer 0 #5 April 15, 2003 Hey Roy I mentioned to BOB about trying to get a group together and either fly the C206 or Twin-Bo to the Boogie. It will cost an extra couple of bucks but it will save us an 8 hour drive.

Fly it like you stole it!

Although, that is nothing compared to the time it took to drive from Lost Prairie to Rantoul last year. I think I lost track of how long we were on the road somewhere in South Dakota... I need to become buddies with a guy on our airport that just flew from Denver to Kalispell in about 3 hours. I don't know what kind of plane it is, but it's a low-wing single engine aerobatics plane that is pretty long. I think he said his cruising speed was around 280 knots..must be nice!"I don't know where it is that I'm going, but wherever it is there I'll be!" --quoted by me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites D22369 0 #9 April 16, 2003 QuoteHey Roy I mentioned to BOB about trying to get a group together and either fly the C206 or Twin-Bo to the Boogie.

I looked up thier website... and its happening again this year so I think I need to go to my first boogie in 23 years. [url] http://www.skydivelostprairie.com/pages/events.htm So I have talked myself into reserving one of my weeks of vacation to head that way. I normally jump at Snohomish WA ( Just N of Seattle) and am going to hop right on US Hwy2 and head east.. Maybe even stop a couple places along the way (Davenport WA) Are there any others not out of the way headed to Kalispell MT????
