Good Day.  We are rapidly closing in on Friday and a three-day weekend.  I want to bring our other three jumpers in today so I got them close to the ground with out actually showing them on the ground.   Again as you remember I was required to stay pretty far away from the landing zone and it wasn’t the best angle to photograph them either.

First one in was Kevin.  I asked him a few times before the weekend if he had any second thoughts about jumping.  He always had the same answer.  He would say, “No I’m looking forward to it.”

Next came Ann.  I didn’t get a chance to visit with Ann much before she jumped.  But knowing that she has hiked the Continental Divide Trail with Kevin and works for the DNR so I didn’t think she would have any concerns.

I went to Rotary today and a lot of the talk at Rotary was about the skydivers.  People wanted to know why they did it and who all was involved.  This is for now anyway the talk of the town.  Good stuff.

Finally the last jumper of the group was Gayle.  She was jumping to celebrate her 50th birthday.  I got to thinking that Saturday how young 50 sounded.  Damn, it was a traumatic birthday for me and now it seems so young.  😦

By the time Gayle and her group landed the temperature had started to climb and what started off as a very pleasant morning was rapidly turning into another HOT and humid day.

So now we have them all on the ground safe and reasonably sound.  Tomorrow I’ll wrap up this amazing skydiving adventure with some final thoughts and images.

Enjoy this wonderful Thursday and thank you as always for stopping by.  Please be careful.
