Hi all,
Just can't thank everyone enough for taking time out of their jumping day to come and search for my lost canopy in the corn after my cut-away on Saturday. A big shout-out to John, Chris, Bob, and Rob who spent hours searching and dealing with a very unhappy farmer to boot. I can't thank you enough! I appreciate it more than ever! Thanks also to Rook who did a flyover with his Cessna and was able to spot the exact location of it. Couldn't have found it without that! So thank you Rook! For those not there on Sunday, I was able to work some of my Li'l Deb charm on the farmer and his wife and they gave me permission to enter their field and retreive my canopy. All intact, even have the freebag and pilot chute! So a happy ending to the story! The farmer was actually quite nice to me and wanted me to spread the word at SDC that they are really nice and "real" people and if there is ever an incidence with lost gear on their property in the future to please just go to their door and request permission to enter their property BEFORE walking through their corn. Alls well that ends well. Thanks again to such a great skydiving family to help me out!
