Emmie 0 #1 March 18, 2002 I drove down to my home dz today to drop off my new rig to be packed & instpected. This was my first time back since last November. I was kind of nervous, but the second that I stepped throught manifest door, I felt like I was home again. It's weird how you can love a place so much. There was a jumper there that I didn't know that well, I think that we only met a couple of times, but he remembered my name, which doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but I was really touched. I can't wait untill I can jump there again. It was just like the old times again. The worst part was the drive home, everytime I leave that place, all I can think about is coming back there again.

Skyrose7 0 #2 March 18, 2002 I know how ya feel. Can anyone identify the dz "scent"? Maybe to some it is more of an odor, but I love it when I walk into the dz and there is that familiar smell. I get a faint whiff of it every time I open my rig to pack it again. First jump of the season for me is in 12 days. I am counting down...The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkzone 0 #3 March 18, 2002 Same here!I'm STILL a student with only 40 jumps since June 2000 (long story, won't bore you). I have gone as long as four months between visits but the DZOs still know me and call me by my first name which is great!And yeah. the DZ does have a smell all its own (especially the new manifest which I got to paint last time the weather closed in)Whooooohooooo!!! Hahahaha!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #4 March 18, 2002 I love that feeling. I sometimes I head over to my old home DZ when my current DZ gets fogged in. They treat me like family and it's like I never left."I know I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing" -- socrates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChromeBoy 0 #5 March 18, 2002 I have been to eight different dropzones in the past six months and I have never been treated as anything but one of the regular dz skydivers. That is what is so special about our sport. Every once in a while you will run across a Sky God but there is always more people there who are open to jump and party with you than are not.-I'd like to buy the world a coke.
