tetra316 0 #1 May 27, 2004 Anyone going up to Wasilla for this boogie next month? I'm going to be up there for work and was wondering if its worth it to rearrange my schedule to be there for the boogie? What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunnydee123 0 #3 May 27, 2004 So any clue what the weather is like then and about how many people gather for the event? Maybe I should do some research huh ...sounds fun - but an awefully long way from Florida Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tetra316 0 #4 May 27, 2004 I haven't a clue, was wondering how cold it would be to jump up there though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnydee123 0 #5 May 27, 2004 I saw 70's to mid 50's but LONG ASS DAYS for jumping. Hotels are not easy to find right now and if it is 50 at night - not sure I'd want to camp. I am looking at airfare just for the heck of it although my boyfriend has a swoop comp locally at the same time.....but I'm not a swooper Made a jump with a guy from Alaska around April of last year in Sebastian - it was my 4 way requirement for my A or was it B and he forgot to let go at breakoff and sunk me down to 4K which at THAT time was LOW Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

Keith 0 #6 May 27, 2004 Mid 70's during the day and mid to low 50's at night. I tend to acclimate pretty quickly so I don't notice the cold. They have a large bonfire each night that will keep you plenty warm. The attendance last year was around 200 IIRC.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

Keith 0 #7 May 27, 2004 It's cool at altitude, but not cold. If you chill easily wear an extra shirt and gloves and you'll be fine.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #8 May 28, 2004 QuoteThey have a large bonfire each night that will keep you plenty warm. NIGHT... what NIGHT....the sun does set but it never gets dark then..twilight mebbe... sheesh its Solstice.. in the Land of the Midnight Sun. But to get the Sun never sets effect you have to go a little farther north.. up past Fairbanks.. and to 66 degrees North Latitude.. then its trippy to watch the sun start to approach the horizon in the NORTH.. but never goes below it.. then starts swinging around to the EAST and then.. back up...mucho fun to watch all the nocturnal critters.. when there is no nocturn for them to take cover in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites altichick 1 #9 May 28, 2004 I'll be there... apparently if you drink enough beer the mosquitos leave you alone... I'm practicing hard!! Hope to see you there! Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things!

For a hotel look in Wasilla not Anchorage or you could even try Palmer. Tenting it is not really that bad. They have showers with lots of hot water and good water pressure. Breakfast each morning is either pancakes or french toast made by Stan and Barb. The Boys and Girls club usually have a snack stand and we would not be part of the northwest with out having access to good coffee. The coffee lady usually sets up a booth on the DZ. We will try for the Chick's record, their will be midnight jumps, glacier jumps, freefly coaching, RW coaching, Canopy coaching. Good fun all around. Keith, sorry to hear that you will not be coming up this year. :( I am working here in AZ for Bill and Carol at Skydive Sedona - Alaska's sister dropzone and leave to go home on the 14 and will be in AK until the 21st.
