Hello everyone! A friend and I will be traveling to Perris Jan 13-16. Coming from Pennsylvania and totally excited to get some warm weather [belly] jumps in!!! Anyone else traveling these days?

There are other dropzones close by as well.... Check 'em all out!!

Possibly! I'm staying with a friend in Perris, no car or anything.

It won't be warm though! Bring your thermals but enjoy!

Yeah it has been fairly cold here in CA along with rain. So hopefully the weather will be some what decent during those days you are here.

Cold as in? It was 35 on the ground here in PA the other week when I jumped :)

The first year enthusiasm for jumping in cold is so cute...

It could easily be that chilly in the morning though it'll typically warm up during the day. But when the sun goes down, expect the temps to drop and be ready to throw some layers on for the evening.

It has been running low to mid 50's where I am located.

Thanks, we're camping out so I'll definitely bring some thermals.

If you don't have them already get some heavy weight gloves too.

For jumping? I wouldnt recommend that. Use latex inserts, or thin thermal inserts with your regular gloves. For hanging our at night, sure!

I picked some up at square 2 for the really cold days and they worked well for me....much better than the tandem gloves I made the mistake of using before.

hopefully, the dz will be out from under water by the time I get there!

8 days left, super excited. I'm assuming Perris has load organizers, think it will be hard to find people to jump with? Just belly stuff, 4-way or less.

Yes, just ask at manifest who's organizing that day and they'll connect you. I had about the same number of jumps as you when I first visited and I had a great time and learned a ton!

Be sure you ask for a landing area briefing as well.

Yep. Darryld and Mark are the two organizers usually there. There are a few others who do it on an as-needed basis.

Just jumped at Perris this weekend. Cold as hell!!! The landing area is not under water any more but there is a good 4 inches of VERY slick mud covering everything. Hope that dries out before the 13th. Agree with NW, make sure to get a good brief on the landing areas.

Life is short, eat more bacon, have more sex and jump anytime you can!!

Most load organised jumps during the weekend end up a tad bigger than 4-ways though, the jumps they organise are a ton of fun, you should definitly join in...

I'm there 14-17 as well...

hey everyone, after hours on the phone with expedia, etc, and cancelled flights. I need a ride!!! Anybody know anybody? I'd be willing to pay gas. I arrive at LAX Friday at 11am and need to get to Perris... I leave Monday, and would have to be back at LAX by 11am... I tried renting a card but they require a credit card in the drivers name... I don't own a cc! Anybody know of any options, buses, etc. something, let me know!
