Marion 0 #1601 September 27, 2006 Casey, I think that movie is on dvd now... Whit, I'm really glad your surgery went well. We should have a countdown to 4 weeks. Here's one of the few non-action shots of the four of us. I have a CD with all the pictures for you- Will you be at the dz this weekend? I know you're not jumping, but I thought you might be hanging out. I saw my new ENT guy today, and he looked at my CT scans from last week. Before he even got them clipped to the light box, he said, "Oh, wow." There were a few seconds of silence. Then, probably realizing that's not the best thing to say to a patient upon seeing a CT scan of her head, he added, "I mean, don't worry. It's not like you have a brain tumor. But that's A LOT of inflammation." I got some 'roids to deal with the current stuff, so I'll hopefully be back in the air this weekend. I'll probably end up getting surgery in the not so distant future, so I'll keep up the quilting bee when y'all are all healed up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eUrNiCc 0 #1602 September 27, 2006 Sheesh, We should rename this thread "Busted CSS Jumper Status Anyone?" Road Trip Update: So I left Marion's house at sunrise on Monday morning... I figured that I'd try to make St. Louis by the first night, Denver by the second night, and Moab on wednesday. Well, fuck that. I arrived at the airport in Moab just a bit after sunset on tuesday... about 38 hours after leaving Marion's. It was a 2004 mile drive Needless to say, I'm pretty tired after two 16 hour days of driving. BTW, if you've never driven hwy 70 West from Denver to Utah, it's the most beautiful road that I've ever seen! I stopped in Vail and there was snow everywhere, but it was 60 degrees and I could comfortably walk around in a tshirt and sandals. Anyhow, I'm going to go set up my tent and SLEEP hard. More updates and pictures forthcoming! Seeya! EricEgad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hajnalka 0 #1603 September 27, 2006 Marion - WHEW!!! .... thanks for cropping that pic ! Whit - "Malleolus" = hammer-shaped; like a mallet, get it? Sounds like they had to repair a heel ligament. Man, you're tough, girl. 8-12 weeks? That ROCKS - you should be OK for holiday boogies! So - official countdown to next tramp night = 28 days? (Tess - wanna borrow my 4" heels? or my 6" stainless steel ones? Oh, never mind - even I can't walk in those.) Marion and I were talking about going to the place we went for Keith M's bday - the Italian restaurant/video game/go-karts/miniature golf place, the name escapes me. But as Whitney might not be up for that, I think we should all try to come up with ideas. I say this should be open to ALL CSS women .... and it really is a challenge to outdo Casey on Tramp Night, believe me, ladies. Yes, I'm throwing down a challenge here - not only did she have the shapeliest legs, she made our waiter comment: "And here I almost called in sick today." As for venues, I'll put the ? to G and see what his diabolical mind comes up with, as well. Hopefully he can join us later in the evening. I'd love for you guys to meet him. Eric - MISS YOU - glad you made it to Moab in one piece. If you liked Hwy 70 that much, do yourself a favor and take a slight detour on your way back - take the CO exit for Hwy 6 to Keystone/Dillon/Silverthorne, and take US 6 over Loveland Pass back to I70 - it's a mere 15 mile-or-so detour. Park at the 11,900 ft pass for 5 -10 mins, get out of your car, feel all dizzy and woozy from the alt, and take in the magic of the high country. I promise you won't regret it. It's a magical place. Best, D Marion - edited to add: I hope your head is better soon. Do steroids make you looney? 'Cause if so, I'll leave you alone and quit inundating you with e-mails ....

eUrNiCc 0 #1604 September 28, 2006 Thanks for the tip Dawn! I actually remember seeing that exit on the way here. I've been being a little lazy today. I got up and went to Apex BASE, but Jimmy & Marta were nowhere to be found. Then I went to Tombstone and couldn't find any jumpers anywhere. I spent most of the afternoon helping the DZ get ready for the boogie & scoping out a canyon where they're going to be dropping loads in the mornings.... You land on a road between the 400 foot walls The town of Moab is REALLY nice. There're bike shops, outfitters, and jeep rental places on every corner and everyone who I talked to was exceedingly friendly. The booigie officially starts tomorrow and people are arriving from all over. One otter just landed a few hours ago from Eloy, and there are another otter and a skyvan coming tomorrow. I met up with a couple of BASE jumpers this afternoon and we're going to get up early and try to go make a jump before skydiving. Woohoo! I'll talk to you all soon!Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 2400 jumps were made during the boogie and there was only one injury that I know of. A TM sprained her ankle badly after her first jump at the high density altitude here. There was another guy who swooped right into the powerlines that supply the entire airport... it took them 3 hours to get the power back on.

I rolled into TF at 2:30 to find the winds gusting over 20mph, even though the forecast was calling for 5.
