freeflir29 0 #1 January 6, 2004 OK....I'll be there from the 22nd to the 28th. I'm trying to figure how NOT to spend a fortune on hotels so I can have more money to jump! Tent looks to be NO good from the weather reports. Looked into renting an RV but the prices I have seen are FAR worse than a hotel/rental car combo. Plus....after my 8 days of WFFC 2002 tent/sleep deprivation experience I won't soon do that again. So...does anyone have hotel or RV space they want to rent out to a temporarily homeless skydiver.

When you're done, you walk a bit further than everyone else, but you sleep, too. At CK, I setup my tent as far away from the bar as possible, it's at the very end of tent row. That's just me though. Too cheap to pay for a hotel, too drunk to drive home. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laurel 0 #9 January 6, 2004 You should share a hotel room with someone. I'll be staying in the camper with 3 others - sorry, no more room. .....................................................................

Amazon 7 #10 January 6, 2004 You SOOOO better get on the skydiving thing and get off student status so we can jump together.... then again if the weather up here cooperates just a little so I can get in my 2 coach checkout jumps I should have my coach rating by then.

I actually read that, but I was offering another option by mentioning the hotel share and wanted to clear up my plans, which I guess was unnecessary. .....................................................................
