how many dzs?

[chopchop 0]

OK, I have been jumping for about 2 years now and have been to 22 different dropzones. I think this may be a little unusual but was wondering how much others are traveling and getting to know people all over this country and world in this great sport of ours. My list is as follows:
CA
Byron - Bay Area Skydiving (still my home dz even if they aren't feeling loved)
Lodi - PArachute Center
Davis - Skydance Skydiving
Monterey - Skydive Monterey Bay (the most beautiful under canopy)
Lake Tahoe - Skydive Lake Tahoe
Madera - Madera Parachute Center
Lake Elsinore - Skydive Lake Elsinore
Perris - Perris Valley Skydiving (home away from home)
NV
Jean - Gravity Zone
AZ
Parker - Blue Water River Boogie (yahoo! - flying over the river is fun)
WA
Kapowsin - Kapowsin Air Sports
MT
Lost Praire - Skydive Lost Prairie
WI

So far, only three:

Skydive Oregon (where I learned)
Perris Valley Skydiving
Skydive Elsinore (my home DZ and great vibe! )

On my list this year (at a minimum):
Skydive San Diego
Eloy

On my list for when I get to it:
The Ranch
Lost Prairie
Deland
Cross Keys

Sh*t...I just need to win the lottery so I can travel and visit every DZ

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

[DivaSkyChick 0]

Hmmmmm
Sky Dance
Elsinore
Perris
Coolidge
Davenport
Lost Prairie
The Ranch
Eloy

In that order, I think.

Looking forward to San Carlos, Rantoul and Burning Man this year, if I can make that work!

Yo Chopchop, my job as longhaul trucker allows me to travel all over the US and sometimes I even get to visit DZ's and jump while on the road.
So far I've jumped in 33 states and at 53 DZ's
I'm not even going to try to list'em all.

Sadly, some of these DZs are no longer in operation...

(Not including demos and Para-ski meets, when you are skydiving the world is a dropzone!)

22 is pretty darn good for 2 years. I've been to 7 in a year and a half.

"when you are skydiving the world is a dropzone!"
Then you should try jumping outside of the US from time to time.....
Me? loads of DZs in many different countries, on 4 different continents.

In 30 years of jumping, more than 50 countries - and countless hundreds of seperate DZ's. Added to that is several hundred displays in different countries/locations.

All as a civilian, on my dime, I might add.

One period was 6 months touring the US in a van with my wife. If you're an American and reading this, be proud of your country's natural and enthusiastic hospitality.

Over that time we'd often be hijacked by jumpers at whatever DZ we were passing through and taken home to their place. "You're not sleeping in that van when at my DZ" was the typical comment.

Often they'd then call ahead to wherever we'd be heading to their mum, cousin, uncle, etc to say ..."these 2 Aussies will be coming to stay in a few weeks..." Awesome.

So if you had two Aussies in your house for a day or a week back in the early 80's, maybe it was me. Thanks again!!!
Needless to say, after such an experience, there's always a room spare at my place for travelling skydivers.

Spread the love!!!
