waltappel 1 #1 April 9, 2006 Kathleen (skydivermom) and I went there for the first time yesterday and I gotta tell you, it's easily one of the friendliest DZs I have *ever* been to. Add to that, great facilities, awesome aircraft (PAC750), big landing area with plenty of outs, easy access from I-35 and lots of improvements in the works, it's an awesome place. You can easily go there not knowing anyone and by the end of the day have a dozen new friends and jumped with 'em all. The 14,000+ ft. jump runs don't hurt either! I made two jumps and according to my ProTrack one was a 70 sec. freefall and the other 71 secs. Looks like Kathleen found a new home DZ.Oh, and did I mention hanging out with Wendy (faulknerwm) and Shari (sharimcm)? Yeah, yesterday was a *good* day!Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #3 April 9, 2006 QuoteHow far is that from Austin? Without looking at a map, I think it's around 40 miles--for you it would be a 10 minute drive. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #6 April 9, 2006 Quotefor you it would be a 10 minute drive. I think it may take a good deal longer than that. It took me about an hour and change to get there from Bastrop taking State 95. Salado is due south of Waco on I-35 about +/- 50 miles and about 60+/- North of Austin."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did a quick lookup on MapQuest. looks like about 50 miles north of Austin. For LM, that would be about a 12 minute drive. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is a BBQ grill there maybe we can all bring alittle something for dinner... I will most likely be in Houston next weekend and I'm quite sure Kathleen will be too, but both of us will definitely be back there plenty in the future. I will almost certainly be splitting my weekends between Skydive Temple and Spaceland. There was a BBQ grill there and Lydia treated everyone to quite a tasty meal of pork chops, chicken, cole slaw, and potato salad last night after the jumping! I really can't say enough good about the DZ and the people there.Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivermom 0 #22 April 10, 2006 Man, yesterday had to be a dream becuase it was just too good. I love that place...and that's an understatement. I can't wait to learn from those awesome people. It was an honor to be invited on a 5 way (chick dive) and I had just met them that day. It's also a wonderful sign when you get a big hug from the dz owner. Well, once again Walt, THANK YOU! Oh, and it was pretty funny when we were all walking to the plane on our second jump and one of the kids said "hey, there's only one guy on this load." Indeed, Walt was the only dude on the plane!Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharimcm 0 #25 April 10, 2006 Well, well... Someone actually mentioned *me* in their post. Wow. I feel special!! I had a great time meeting you guys, and the next time y'all decide to head up to Salado, let me know, and I will be there! I am only about 20-30 minutes away (Round Rock), so I really have no excuse, do I? Glad you had a good time, and I hope to see you again... soon!!
