FROM CHICAGO AREA:

Looking to see if anyone want to fly(in a plane) down with me for the wknd. to Jackson Falls leaving Friday(10/28) AM and returning Sun. Aft?

LMK and I will send you the cost sharing details. Flying makes a 6 hr drive a 2 hour flight. LMK right away- Thanks

I'm not sure which is scarier, getting a belay from a random guy you meet on Mt Project or flying in a plane operated by some random guy you meet on Mt Project.

Yes, LOL- I know what you mean. Though, I have been climbing for almost 30 yrs, and have been flying for 23 yrs. and have over 3,000 hours of flight time.

Can send pix of plane and details. This is a great fun way to go climbing- sure beats driving! Thanks

Sounds like you sold A LOT of holds!

Have fun, few crags are better than Jackson Falls on a perfect fall day. I miss that place.

I have had the plane since 1993. A lot of other gigs have paid it off for me.

Sounds like fun, but no, I am in the wrong state. Just wanted to show some love for the falls.

Nice plane...here's a view taken out over the wing while flying over climbing areas at Devils Lake, Wisconsin. ....



then we dove and strafed the fishing boats just for fun....

Hey, I flew in it twice, down from the old grass strip along the highway!

Yea, I forgot about that. Was that for a trip or just a ride? Have been trying to get you to fly with me to climb for awhile now.... Even for a day trip somewhere or to the cabin where you do not need a car(I have one there) or camping gear- ;)

Your plane couldnt' handle all the heavy climbing gear and camping crap that I haul along...unless we flew no other passengers. I need a car for mobility too.

Dewd, his plane could indeed haul your crap :)Just leave the white gas or compressed gas cylinders at home :)

Inside joke I guess; Juggler knows the tons of crap I haul along for camping/climbing outings....not enough cubic footage.

Are you a pilot or a mechanic or both?

Woodchuck ATC · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Nov 2007 · Points: 3,305

Pilot and a juggler he is.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
