Palm Springs... Gonna have five hours to kill...

[ntrprnr 0]

So here's random. This conference I'm going to is going to have "recreation" on mondy afternoon, where they send all the people golfing or what not.

I don't golf.

I might go for a long run if possible. But More importantly, is there anywhere near Palm Springs that I can jump? And relatively near - not like Perris or something.

Anyone?

If not, anyone want to go for a lunchtime run next Monday? And yes, I know it'll be hot.

Just got this mental image of Peter sticking his head up out of a gopher hole:

You should be able to keep yourself entertained at the Spa Resort Casino

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Perris is close enough. Instead of getting in one, or two jumps maximum, go for 15-30 minutes of tunnel time with a coach.

Tunnel time would be fun, but the Tramway is beautiful at this time of year (snow still on the mountains, etc.)

I learned how to skydive at a small DZ at Bermuda Dunes back in 1996. The original DZO is retired from skydiving, but there may be someone running the place by appointment now. Bert Cotton and Albert Champagne took it over from Jamey Woodward. Not sure if either of them are still operating there, but you might call up the airport and ask.

edit to add: Palm Springs Tourist Page still has them listed. Might call and see if the number is still active or not.

Peter. Learn golf. Pasture pool is awesome.

If you like the exercise, try taking up Speed Golf.
