What a rush! This geocoin and I drove down to the Gold Coast Skydivers drop zone in Lumberton, Mississippi today and engaged in my favorite pasttime - jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. It was a great day for jumping, with clear skies, gentle wind, and cool temperatures. We made a couple of jumps out of the DZ's Twin Otter jump plane from 14,500 feet, enjoyed over a minute of freefall at 120 mph or more, popped the 'chute at 3,000 feet, and had about a five-minute ride down to a soft landing back at the DZ. Pack the chute and go again. The geocoins I took up with me stayed safe (relatively) in a zippered pouch attached to my skydive rig.
Now this coin has tasted the beauty, freedom, and thrill of flight and knows why the birds sing.
Blue skies and happy caching!
