Current Goal

This travel bug's goal is to visit the United States Parachute Association Headquarters at 5401 Southpoint Centre Blvd. in Fredericksburg, Virginia. If it could get airborn at some point; fly in a plane, go parasailing, go up on a kite, or skydive again, that would be great too!

About This Item

The USPA Skydive Bug - Front

Don't keep this travel bug - it is not a trade item!
Let's try to keep this travel bug moving. Please place it in another cache within two weeks if you can.

Post pictures of the bug at caches, with other travel bugs and geocoins, or at interesting sites if you can. And if anyone can get this geocoin airborn again and post pictures I would be very grateful.

I've been skydiving for over 18 years (since starting in 1991) and have been a member of the USPA for almost all of that time. I've made hundreds of jumps, earned my Master Skydiver license, and accumulated over 12 hours of freefall time. It's a great sport that's tons of fun and has the friendliest people involved in it that you would ever want to meet.

Please help this travel bug along on its journey and help it have some adventures along the way.
Thanks!

Blue skies and happy caching!

Well this IS the USPA Skydive Bug, so it was essential that it make at least one skydive with me before heading out into the geoworld on its travels and adventures. So today we made three skydives at the Gold Coast Skydivers dropzone in Lumberton Mississippi. The bug and I jumped three times from 14,500 feet out of a Super Otter jump plane. Each time we enjoyed about 70 seconds of freefall before deploying the parachute and gliding down to a gentle landing.

Now the travel bug knows the freedom and thrill of flight and knows why the birds sing. (It's because they don't have to repack a parachute before their next flight). I'll be sending this bug out soon.

Blue skies and happy caching!
