MTGirl 2 #1 January 29, 2007 We just can't get enough of jumping in the cold!! The Minesota Skydivers Club will be hosting a lake jump Febrary 10th/11th at Lake Washington in Mankato, MN. No worries, the lake will be plenty frozen for a landing area! We will be flying out of Mankato Regional Airport and landing over the lake, with shuttle service provided to and from the airport. A heated hanger will also be availble for packing. Max alititude will be 8K so that we have the ability to keep turning loads. Cost is $8 plus $1 per 1000 feet. Parking/shuttle available at: Westwood Marina Bar & Grill 1400 Lake Washington Rd Kasota, MN 56050 (Party at Marina to follow jumping) Jumping starts at 9am! Hope to see all the Minnesota/Wisconsin jumpers as well as anyone else who wants to join us crazy northerners!! Send PM or email emundinger@gmail.com with any questions.

wildfan75 1 #2 January 29, 2007 Hey Erika!! Todd and I talked about going. We'll discuss more this weekend and let you know for sure next week! Hopefully the 8 degrees F ground temps we jumped in this weekend isn't a "warm up" for colder weather in the coming weeks! We should try to get Merriah and Kenzie to come and we can do an all PMS four way!! Later! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleddog 0 #3 January 30, 2007 I'm sure John A. will have some comment about you all ( jumping onto a lake) as we're exiting the Otter in Eloy Blue's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTGirl 2 #4 January 30, 2007 Yeah, yeah, you will both be so toasty warm. I'm impressed you're getting him into an Otter. This means he HAS to go all the way to altitude!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTGirl 2 #6 January 31, 2007 What you don't want to camp on a frozen lake?? Man, you jumpers are picky! Actually I am working on compiling a hotel list as we speak and will have that info posted ASAP!

Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MTGirl 2 #8 February 1, 2007 Here is a list of hotels closest to Lake Washington (all within 10 miles). In Mankato: 1. Country Inn and Suites (507)-388-8555 or 888-201-1746 2. Fairfield Inn (507) 386-1220 In North Mankato: 1. Microtel Inn and Suites (507) 388-2818 In St. James: 1. Viking Jr Motel (507)931-3081 2. St. Peter Motel (507)931-3100 I think there is a fair number of people willing to split rooms for Saturday night so you can send me a PM if you are looking for people to share costs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites playgroundguy 0 #9 February 1, 2007 Are you guys doing any jumping anywhere on the 9th of February? I'm coming to MN for a conference and would like to try a cold weather jump. Aparently nobody here in Ohio wants to.Good, Better, Best, never let it rest 'till your good better and your better best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MTGirl 2 #10 February 7, 2007 UPDATE: I've received a few PM's and just want to let everyone know that we are still planning to jump. Cold means NUTHIN to us! We were going to be packing in a heated hanger, but the airport manager has been kind enough to let us pack right in the terminal. Hope to see you there!
