slotperfect 7 #4 April 28, 2008 I would normally recommend you stay in Pinehurst or Southern Pines, but this is the beginning of high season - availability will be slim and rates will be at their peak. Your wife would love it here, but your wallet might not during this time of year. Raeford Parachute Center is about 35 minutes from Pinehurst Village, 30 minutes from Southern Pines, and about 25 minutes from Aberdeen. All are convenient to the "things to do" in the Sandhills area - lots of shopping (shoppes with an "e" not malls) and lots of history. I can hook you up with maps/directions if you decide on that area.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ffp1974 0 #7 May 8, 2008 Well I just got back from my trip and all the questioning about where to stay was moot point. The 82nd was coming back from Afganistan and I was glad to find the room that I did. The wind tunnel was great. I didn't get to jump at skydive raeford. The winds were honking and I decided to go adventuring somewhere else. But I shall return. FF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
