iluvtofly 0 #2 February 5, 2010 Clean-is any bunkhouse at any DZ truly clean? Loud-only if you go to bed too early. Safe-yup. I sleep at the Farm on a regular basis. Be it in the bunkhouse or on a couch in the middle of the hanger. So it is a good place to crash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonija 0 #3 February 5, 2010 Well I wasn't looking for a silk sheets with mint chocolate placed on pillow every day when hot french maid cleans it I am more concerned about wildlife and bugs in rooms :) or birds nesting in there (like at some other DZ bunkhouse).

iluvtofly 0 #4 February 5, 2010 The only wildlife that may be in the bunkhouse would be the many Farm Animals that run around that place. All joking aside, it is a very clean place to sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites antonija 0 #20 February 12, 2010 Since this thread seems to have a lot of locals in it I have few more question for you: I was looking at rental cars yesterday and they seemed really expensive for the 10 day period (or maybe I'm just too cheap). Would I really need my own car there? I don't plan to do any travelling, sightseeing and other stuff people do on vacations, so the only thing I need the car would be to get me from ATL airport to DZ and back and to get some supplies while at STF. So I was thinking alternatives and the first one was airport taxi. How much would they charge me for a ride from ATL to STF? And how much would be a taxi from STF to nearest grocery store and back? Last but not least, is it reasonable to expect to meet friendly skydivers (with cars) that will drive me around (for few beers and a fee to cover the gas and some more beer )? EDIT: If renting a car is the way to go, could someone explain the insurance system in US? Is any insurance included in base price? Are there legal requirements what insurance I must have to drive there? Which of the optional insurances (Loss damage waiver, Supplemental liability, etc.) is good thing to have and where to get them from (rent place or other insurance company)? I understand the need for conformity.

There are many jumpers in Atlanta that would be glad to give you a ride to the DZ. Worst case, I'll come from the Farm to pick you up at the airport and take you back. Getting back and forth to a store of any type, (there's a good booze store in town ) will be no problem whatsoever. We're friendly like that. Let us know as early as you can what airline, day, and time of arrival...somebody will be there. On the other hand, if you have an extra arm and leg to spare, you can take a taxi.
