I came up for a recurrency jump and was thoroughly briefed by Rick and another instructor. The landing area is generously large with easy-to-see-and-avoid obstacles (small clump of bushes and a shed). There are numerous good out-landing areas. The view from altitude is amazing. The staff were helpful, not obnoxious and I was welcomed like another skydiving family member. I would recommend this dropzone to locals and travelers alike. I jumped out of a C182 at this DZ.

Landon's family now has a trailer donated by a colleague. Thanks to everyone for your efforts!

That is an awesome picture of Phil.

Wow. Really nice.

My hope is that people who want specific information or to post about their friend or loved one will have an outlet to do so. Thank you.

I'm so sad about this tragedy and I hope this helps... -Scott Connect yourself with others and share your thoughts here. Help others get important information and coordinate your efforts. Find old friends and make new ones. Grieve. Share. Love. Heal. Celebrate our beloved friend's life.

My thoughts are with the families and rescue teams.

Find them ASAP...Don't count 'em 'til you found 'em.

I'm adding myself and my dates 8/1 - 8/5. I need a ride from the Seattle area (Bothell) on 8/1. I can split the gas and driving and take care of myself once we get there. Please let me know if anyone's driving from Seattle Metro area on 8/1. Thank you, -Scott (425) 442-2467 [email][email protected] Adrock Amazon 27 JULY Amyfiske Beachbum - trying my damndest!

Friends, My wage-slave employer approved some time away from the drudge-hole job :) So I finally have my Lost Prairie dates: Seattle to Lost Prairie - Wednesday 8/1/2007 Lost Prairie to Seattle - Sunday 8/5/2007 I can contribute gas money $$$, help drive (good driving record), and loan you some camping gear (tent). I just don't trust my car for the 12-hour drive. Once we get to the boogie, I can setup my own camp and otherwise take care of myself -- this post is just for the rideshare. This will be my first Lost Prairie boogie and I'm excited to go :) So, if you have some space in your car/truck/van/camper/motorhome, please help me make it! Thanks and Blue Skies, -Scott Cates Bothell, WA (425) 442-2467 [email protected]

Here is an interesting article about Lee in the local paper. http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/06/02/12/100loc_b4lifestory001.cfm

I miss Ben already. In the short time I knew him, he inspired and encouraged me. He made me laugh so much! Ben has touched me and his generous spirit lives on inside me. I am sad. My prayers and thoughts go out to his friends and family.
