Last weekend was awesome. I believe we had about 18 people come down and jump. We need to try to get that many people every weekend! For all of you that missed out, this weekend is looking to be another beautiful one. Both days are looking clear and warm. I plan on heading down on Sunday this week. If you want to go on Saturday or are planning on it, I need to know who can possible drive.

Now that it is getting warm and towards the end of the school year I am sure a lot of people are going to start coming out. Here are some things that we all need to remember:

-This is an all day event. We like to stay after jumping is done and hang out. Plan on the whole day. Do not get discouraged if you’re sitting around, the people are nice and you can always learn something.
-The drop zone is getting busy. For everyone looking to do those tandem jumps before the end of the year or graduation, Archway needs to be called to make reservations and to put down a deposit.
-This links the last two together, tandems to not take very long, so if you have to sit around for a while and enjoy the nice people while you wait for a plane, or a ride home, think of it as an opportunity to meet new, crazy people, NOT as a waste of your time.
-Last, but not least…. As of yesterday, gas prices are almost $3.00 Please consider this when you are getting a ride from someone. We have asked that you give at least $5.00, but just keep it in mind.

Anyway, I hope that we will see you all this weekend.

Blue Skies!!!
