The replacement SnowWolf geocoin went on a little adventure with me today before being released back into the wild to travel. It's sort of a tradition with me and my travel bugs and geocoins. We headed down to Lumberton Mississippi and took a flight in an airplane. Someone opened the door of the airplane at 14,500 feet, so we jumped out just for the fun of it. This geocoin and I made three skydives today out of the drop zone's Super Twin Otter jump plane. The coin stayed safe (sort-of) in my pocket during the jumps. We hopped out of the plane at 14,500 feet, enjoyed over a minute of freefall before deploying the 'chute around 3,000 feet and then had a 5-minute parachute ride back to a soft landing at the drop zone. Repacked the parachute and went again (and again). The thermometer in the truck read 100 degrees this afternoon. It was way too hot, so I switched to geocaching with the air conditioning in the Explorer blasting.
Now this geocoin has experienced the beauty, thrill, and joy of flight and knows why the birds sing.
Blue skies and happy caching!
