Lost Prairie Boogie - July 24-Aug 1

Recommended Posts

Quote

- Spokane or Kalispell? What do you think, should I fly into Spokane and rent a car and drive or should I fly into Kalispell and see if I can catch a ride to the DZ? Ideally I could fly into Spokane and find a ride to LP and chip in gas money that way I will have more jump money. .



You might check on a flight to Missoula. A lot of jumpers are coming from that direction. You should be able to catch a ride with somebody....

N.D.fallrate,
Is this Craig? I'm thinking seriously of showing up! But I haven't jumped in two years. I know that's disgraceful! I hate showing up at L.P. that far out of practice. I did get my reserve repacked last summer. It seems like the older I get the busier I am. I need to start setting priorities and get back in the air. My daughter is getting married in July. If I can find a way....I hope to make Lost Prairie...

I haven't jumped AT Lost Prairie the last two years. Last year I didn't even take my rig. Not jumping allows for way more time for lake loads and breakfast beers. ;)

Show up. You know you want to. You know you'll have fun. Even if you don't jump.

I like calling it Prairie Dust! Sounds much more magical than dirt that will stay on and under your toes for a week after you've left Prairie...dirt. :)



Actually its glacial loess.... aka rock flour deposited by the winds that picked it up and blew it around as the glaciers retreated up the valley.
That stuff is soooooo fine.. it gets into everything.

oh hell yeah! I went to Lp 2 years ago after knee reconstruction....spent a lot of time in the lake that year and it was great rehab for the knee.....there is always more to LP than just the jumping :)
