We decided that Peg and I would take Rod and Jean to Eloy and show them the
sky diving facility about three miles away from where we are staying. It was a nice day with little wind, so we figured they would be jumping today.The training wind tunnel is a very impressive place. This is the second time Peg and I have been there. We were fortunate to see another group of sky divers going through their moves in the encased clear chamber. Another guy that worked at the center was doing some acrobatics in the chamber that almost made me want to join in....I said almost! After we watched the training for a while,
we decided to go outside to the landing field and watch several people jump from perfectly good airplanes!Some of the jumpers were actually folks that paid their $190 to do a tandem jump with an instructor. There was even a lady in her mid 70's who did a jump and lived to tell about it. We enjoyed watching all the colorful shoots open and hear the stories of those who parachuted.
When we got back, we all were invited to Bob and Marlene's house for a mad
game or two of Pegs and Jokers. It was the boys (Myself, Bob and Rod) against the girls (Peg, Marlene and Jean). The guys triumphed with a win of the first game which, by the way, was probably the longest single game I have ever played! The second game the girls won, but not without a fight!We all had a great time but we had to get back home since Rod and Jean were leaving our park tomorrow and driving a whopping 20 miles to Desert Shadows, a park across town, for a two week stay. They needed to get some much needed rest to make that journey!!!
