PLFKING 4 #4 April 10, 2002 I jump there a lot.2 fairly quick Cessnas, covered packing in the hangar, and they were installing showers last time i went. There are always people camping on the weekends also. Two large landing areas, and lots of outs if you need them. Great group of people with a wide range of experience. Small DZ atmosphere.Unbelievable scenery from altitude......lakes, coves, inlets, islands, mountains, forest........sometimes it's hard to concentrate on the actual dive !Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
