supafly 0 #1 July 11, 2004 Next Friday (July 16th) I'm coming out to MI for ten days to visit family and friends. I did my first tandem at Tecumseh almost a year ago exactly and I'm psyched to get back there and do some jumps. Obviously, theres no shortage of cool people to jump with :) but I had a few questions... 1) I'm planning on coming out the following Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. I know Saturday will kick a$$ (Chicks Rock Boogie!), but how about Monday and Tuesday. In Eloy, summer is our slow season and the dropzone closes almost altogether on Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't think this would be the case in MI, but...? 2) I've been known to be extremely lazy when it comes to packing (expecially on vacation). I checked the website and still can't tell, are packers readily available or should I mentally prepare myself to battle my large canopy and small d-bag? :) 3) I'll be staying in Ann Arbor with a rental car, but was thinking about staying at the DZ or near by Monday night if there are any accomodations available (bunk house, hotel, etc...). Can anybody reccommend anything? Thanks. Look forward to meeting you guys and having a great time! --KeithArizona Drive 4-Way VFS - www.DriveVFS.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrissay 0 #3 July 12, 2004 Welcome back! Even if it is for a visit. As Brent said, we are closed on Mondays, we do fly during the week, how much depends on how many tandems are there. Which lately we have had quite a few mid-week tandems. We do have some wonderful packers available, so you shouldn't have to worry about battling your canopy. We have a camping area available and a shower house, if you want to crash in the loft though, I would give the dz a call and see if that is alright. DZ phone is 517.423.7720. I look forward to meeting you! Chrissy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
