DougH 270 #1 October 25, 2016 I am going to be at O'Hare for a work conference Nov. 9th through the 11th and I am trying to figure out if I should hurry back to CT, or if it might be worth getting a rental car and heading over to the DZ. How is the dropzone activity this time of year? I know the end of the season is approaching, and shit is getting chilly! How about weather, I know here in CT November is a crap shoot with winds? I looked at the calendar, no events planned. Option A: back to CT. Option B: Find an overpriced hotel in downtown and explore. Option C: bring my rig, get a rental car, and call the DZ to see if they have cabins/bunk available. Thanks! First beer is on me for any locals with some input!

If you are there on a weekend, you are likely to find a few fun jumpers and tandems. If the weather is above 65F, the fun jumper population will be higher. 3. Cabins are available for rent - recommended as frost is common at night and evenings. 4. The skylounge will be open for dinner and drinks over the weekend Have fun!
