Places to Jump along Route 66

[rjangra 0]

I am thinking of driving from Ohio to California over Christmas week. I am planning to take Route 66 and was wondering about the Dropzones along Route 66 that I can jump while I am driving. Making at least one jump in every state I drive through will be great. Will prefer the dropzones where I don't have to take long detours! If your home DZ or a dropzone you know of, is a short distance from Route 66, please let me know.

Christmas week? I think you're going to find most everything along that route closed for the winter until you get to California. Perris/Elsinore are open year round and aren't too far south of Rte 66.

I don't know Krisanne but with the weird ass weather this year... some of the small DZ's along the route especially when they get to Oklahoma and New Mexico and AZ might be jumping....

The one closest to Route 66 in Oklahoma will be Skydive Airtight - however, it is 15 miles north of 66 and 5 miles west on Highway 75

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I hope by "most everything" you meant all the Dropzones and not all the businesses. It will shuck if all the business were closed too.

Great, hope you guys are jumping this Sunday. I am starting on Saturday from Ohio and will be in Oklahoma this Sunday.

Just checked.
They will be open SAT & SUN thru the winter... weather contingent.
You might put their number in your phone for when you get close.

Seems there are couple of storms along the route. Might have to drop the plans to drive.

Yeah, I meant dropzones! But I guess those Oklahomans are hardier than I expected (or it's warmer than I thought!), being open this time of year.

Wow....that's nearly 2000 miles all the way.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Thanks Andy, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I think Oklahoma Skydiving Center is located closer to Rt 66. Andy Beck is the DZO. Give him a call!
