Ooo, yes, I have been wanting to do that as well. I had the opportunity to
do it once, but when I got there the wind was too strong to let us go. I've
also wanted to go parasailing but haven't found any places near here which
offer it.
As to the jumping, the places need to follow all the safety and other
requirements set up by the United States Parachute Association, and all
places which they have approved are listed on their website. Just go to
www.uspa.org
and click the link which says "learn about skydiving, there is a link which
says drop zones. Follow it and then the link with your state name. At that
point all the zones, their websites, and other contact information will be
listed. Just don't forget if you live near a state boarder the closest zone
may in fact be in the other state so you will have to look that state up
separately.
Have fun!

Hi Tiff,
Yes, this is one thing that is on my list of to do's! I know of a couple of
people in the Portland area that jump it is just a matter of catching up
with them and finding out where they do it. Another thing on my list is hot
air ballooning!

Oh man I surely still would do it. I wish I could see to do it. I can feel
myself somersaulting as I fall a hundred and twenty miles an hour, but to
see the clouds as you're hurtling through them would be awesome. Seeing the
ground would make it more exciting, but seeing anything as you do it would
be great. The first time I did it I was here in New Jersey and there was
mountains and a river on one side, while being able to see the New York City
skyline on the other. Another time I jumped in Florida which was near a lake
and a lot of plant, I think sugar cane? I can't remember. Other times I
jumped in Arizona, which too had a different scenery entirely. People don't
realize how calm and peaceful it is up there once you've gotten past the
first minute of freefall and are now hovering. There's a lot of time to look
around and enjoy yourself. Now I'm going to have to schedule another jump pretty soon.. it's just getting too warm and tempting..

Don't you think she wasn't brave BECAUSE she was blind? She didn't have to
look at what she was facing! I never would have sky-dived if I'd had to look down!

Don't get me wrong, a confusing synopsis is better than the dreaded "none", but whatever does this one mean? I just can't make sense of it.

Dived horses blind???
