josheezammit 0 #5 January 12, 2006 Oh, Westex is gone and it was a Cessna dz any who, Skydive beeville might be closer, but I stand by my story, Skydive San Marcos, is worth a 5 1/2 hour drive anytime! here are some links for beeville.......and san marcos! http://www.skysthelimit2.com/ http://www.skydivesanmarcos.com Ahh, what a wonderful world.

jumpjunkie 0 #6 January 13, 2006 Eagle Fight Skydiving in Granbruy (SW of Fort Worth) is about 3 & 1/2 hours away from you. Great people up there and they have an Otter for the time being. I used to live in San Angelo, and I hate to tell you, but you are in a skydiving black hole. Tubing, so easy a caveman can do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluskidave 0 #9 January 16, 2006 Hey Tetra, I live in fredericksburg which would be on your way in on highway 87 if you wanted to split up the drive.Also know the shortcuts to Skydive San Marcos.They are putting in new bunkrooms and a RV park so you can stay the whole weekend and jump. Blue Skies, Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #10 January 16, 2006 Grandbury has an otter for the winter, they may actually be about equal distance for you, in regards to San Marcos. Both are great DZs with fun people all around.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
