Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[popsjumper 2]

So...after 7 long years at Skydive the Farm, my tenure has ended and I'm moving along to the next biggest thing.

5 years of great times teaching and jumping and two less so, it's time to get a real life outside of skydiving and see more of the world while I still can.

I have no solid plans right now, just a vague notion to travel around, visit remote friends and family and do some traveling....Latin America for starters as soon as my passport comes through. Costa Rica and Panama and maybe Belize would be good to go.

I have a hankering for decent seafood and you just can't get it in middle to western Georgia.


Before you breathe that sigh of relief, be wary, I'll still be checking in here periodically to assist the youngsters when I can and pester and piss off the SC perps and the Mods .


So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, my friends.

Andy

Stay safe in your travels. Thanks for the help way back when.


Keep in touch man

I'm being enthusiastic!

Hi Pops,

It has been fun getting to know the internet you.

Have fun as life is too short not to.

If you get out this way, give a shout as our seafood is rather good and I've got a spare room.

Damn Andy sad to hear the news - you'll have to come this side of the world.

Hope you have a good time, I thought you were joking about finding a spot on a nude beach

Sucks to hear you won't be posting as much. You've always gave genuine thought to helping the younger jumpers on here, one of the few posters I respect when giving out advise on here. Thanks for your time spent posting.

I hope you find what you're looking for in your travels and the fishes you seek. The best to you dude! Shawn.

Safe and fun travels wherever you go.

While waiting for your passport, you should hit Lost Prairie.

If you are visiting friends, I wish you would put me on the list! I am on the way to the Tallahassee airport if that is one of your destinations.
I have thought of you over the years and appreciate every skydiving tip you ever gave me! I remember our jump over Quincey!
Have more fun than you can stand!!! Post pictures when you can!

I havent been to The Farm in probably a couple of years but every time, without fail, you were there. The place isn't going to be the same without you. Best of luck in your travels!

The Farm definitely will not be the same without you. I know you and I have not always seen eye to eye on everything, but we've had countless conversations that I usually ended up learning something from. Please do keep in touch.

Thanks for all the laughs here. It was nice meeting you at The Farm.

Rock n roll man.

[normiss 749]

I'm happy for your early release. Probation can be so difficult!


Enjoy your travels Andy, be safe out there buddy.
Take lots of pictures!!!

Good luck in your journey. Don't forget to stop to smell the poppies along the way.

And if you get to Panama, Barro Colorado Island (it may be open to the public these days) and Pipeline Road rock.
