You're definitely going to set the record for the LONGEST trip of any skydiver going to this boogie if you make it. Question is, fly or drive? :D



i'll be driving. have to make a quick stop in vancouver on the way. yes, like i stopped in zhills on the way to fitz.:S

i might not be the furthest travelled, but i might be the furthest driving. i did see a montana plate at fitz this year, so i wasn't the furthest there.

I was wondering why the bar closed up shop. Dave Tousey used to own it several years back. Is Dave still kicking? He used to be my heroe, back in the day. Is Fred Sands, Stinky, T-bow Tom, and Jaque La Strap still around?



Hey Steve. LP is my home DZ. Fred Sand owns Skydive LP. T-Bow, & Jaque are still around. Don't know that I know Stinky. We usually have somewhere around 6-8 fun jumpers up on the weekends. Come up and make a jump sometime.



I should be over that way this summer. Maybe I can talk Fred into letting me jump. Stinky's last name is Stein(something or another). He lives very close to the D.Z. and may have been in pardners on the bar at one time with Dave. Everybody just called him Stinky. His son is also a jumper.

There was a bunch of old Osprey jumpers who bought land at Lost Prairie, next to the D.Z. I used to jump with them at Kalispell. I spotted them over the middle of town more than once.

My memory is about shot. There's another old jumper who used to be a plumber and pipe fitter. He lives next to Lost Prairie too. Big guy, with a black jump suit. Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet till he decided to clean your clock. Anybody remember his name? He's one of my old pals, but I can't recall his name.

Dave Tousey and Fred Sands were the first Montana jumpers to break the 1,000 jump mark. I think they made most of those jumps on round canopies.

Does B.J. Worth still jump at Lost Prairie? He used to organize some state record attempts.

Yeah I saw that too. It was good for a double-take... going down the row of cars:

Dick Steinke, son Adam, has a trial coming up on the bar ownership this month. We'll see

Man in black is Kenny Garfield. A really great guy.

BJ shows up now and then. Rumor is he's getting ready to retire from big way organizing and just jumping.

Finally going to make it this year! It will be my first LP so please be gentle!
Vader almost convinced me to go with him after Summerfest last year, but I couldn't make it happen.

I'll be coming from Hong Kong, so that for sure puts me in the lead for longest distance travelled.



You doing the summerfest - LP tour? I'm so glad they changed the dates so you can attend both. But the Sunday in between was a fucking ripper. Get up at 6am after the last night of summerfest and fly to LP...
I can't even remember what happened at which boogie. I thought there was someone from New Zealand at one of them and we decided that they travelled the furthest. I also remember being in Hong Kong at some point during my trip but can't remember if it was on the way there or back :S

You going to love it! Just tell people your friends with me :P. Or better yet deny my very existence B|

I'll be at Bachelor this year, see ya LP people in 2014 :)
Have you seen my pants?

Tall Guy is officially "Tall Ass" for this year's LP. He can provide explanation.

It's better than "Shit Guy" and almost even with "Cow Guy" which have been his appellations in the past, for various reasons. He keeps evolving, sort of.

Doing Summerfest as well, won't be the same at the bar without you.

Difference between summerfest and LP.

At summerfest, they kicked me out of the bar.

At LP they come find me and demand I go to the bar (bonfire)

:)

I really need to get back jumping again. Some of my fondest jump memories were jumping at Lost Prairie, and kalispell.

Mad John is still the toughest old fart that I know. Garfield would be a close second.

The hookers will be there; Kdub and me will be doing initiations. We will bring a variety of corsets but I recommend bringing your own. We always camp in the same area and will have a banner and flags showing our presence :)
