Just wanted to get my opinion in on this. I was the concerned buddy of pccoder on this jump. Some info that was left out is that this was the first load of the day and our 3 way was the first out from 15K. the winds were posted and we were all aware the uppers wer stiff from the south west. We did experiance a little more drift in freefall than expected and upon opening around 3500' found ouselves a little downwing from the LZ. The first load of the day is almost like the "test dummies" for the spot for upcomming loads and all three of us had little concern of not making it back, at the time. Did not get muuch drive into the wind but did get back to the north end of the fieild. I did not chance clearing the fence around the airport property and took a safer out next the the raod on the grass. the other guy just cleared the fence withc barbed wire on top instead of landing in the clearing with me. pccoder came up a little shorter than we did and with a cool head and "a little luck" managed to keep himself out of the top tf the trees and put himself down in a very little clearing around the many trees. Givin the situation I think we made a good decision and I am gald we all walked away with some experiance and a story to tell. This is how you learn in this sport. We adjusted the spot and had a fun day of jumping. By the way. Fun jump. Jeff
