liloz 0 #1 January 13, 2016 I am planning a motorcycle trip this summer to visit some military brothers and work on getting as many of them into skydiving as I can. Looking for some input from the experienced. Going to post the states that I will be visiting looking for input on drops zones you would recommend and ones you would advise I should avoid. If you have any suggestions the best way to plan the trip would appreciate that as well. (Is there an APP for that?) I have no time frame for the most part. I will be gone at least one month up to two months. What ever it takes to get the trip done and visit friends. Starting in Fairchild Wi, down to IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, NJ, NY, CT, MA, NH, RI, DE, VA, NC, SC, TN, KY, MO, IA, and finish off in MN. If you have ideas of routes to take places I REALLY need to visit or I should add a state or remove a state please let me know. Oh Ya I want to drive through Canada from Michigan if I can. Looking at jumping at Niagara Skydive. Looking for any HELPFUL suggestions (Del) have already had my fair share of smart ass suggestions. Thank you in advance for you input and if anyone has a month to two months off this summer you are more then welcome to come along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpsalot-2 3 #2 January 13, 2016 If you haven't already, click on "Dropzone" in the dark blue header on the top of this page. You can cross reference your route with that. Maybe it will help you plan ahead.Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liloz 0 #3 January 13, 2016 I have already mapped out my entire trip. I was at my home DZ and talking about the trip and mentioned one of the DZ's I planned to visit. The conversation escalated how bad this place was to jump at. So I thought what better way to get great information than asking the people that have jumped at these places. I want to make this trip as positive as I possibly can. I know it will not be perfect, but that might be what makes it even better. Looking forward to hearing what and what DZ's people will suggest for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #4 January 13, 2016 Not sure if your trip is more about the riding or the skydiving but if you plan to do any riding in the GA,TN,NC area I might be up for some riding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlcobbett 0 #5 January 13, 2016 Pepperrell is a great DZ in Mass. My wife and I try to make at least 1 trip there every year. Wonderful people and always a great time. Not sure when you plan on traveling by that neck of the woods but they have an annual boogie near the end of Aug. Well worth stopping in for.When making the decision to downsize: It's your life, don't spend it all on one canopy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 186 #6 January 13, 2016 Sharon, PA, right off of I-80 on the Ohio border. The original Quaker Steak and Lube has a great "Bike Night". http://thelube.com/locations/pennsylvania/the-original-sharon/ Skydive PA is about 20 minutes away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liloz 0 #7 January 13, 2016 The trip is about visiting my Veteran friends. NC and TN are both on my list of states to jump in. I lived in VA when I was in the service. If I can ride motorcycle I can probably jump out of a plane as well. Perhaps I will take you up on your offer when I make it down that way.
