Sounds great! The challenge is a huge part of the adventure. Wyoming took us three trips, Georgia took FOUR visits (weather and a/c problems) and we ended up jumping in Waycross of all places......Nevada took two tries for us. Rhode Island was tough but a miscommunication actually got us our jump there. ... South Dakota was a whole story in itself getting that jump on The Fourth Of July. Lots of fun, lots of memories.....

Hello Justin, Sounds like you are having a ball! I have been the record keeper since 2001. My wife and I finished The Fifty States in 2005. So far we are the only record holders who have at one time or another had contact with all the others. For years I held out several numbers in the interest of fairness for some folks we had heard rumors of doing the 50 states many years ago. My hope was to give the numbers out somewhat close to the order in which folks completed the states. In 2015 I began discussions with some of the other 50 State Fallers and we decided to clean up the list and numbers and go with confirmed folks and issue the numbers as we became aware of their completing The Fifty States. Lew Sanborn is the 14th confirmed Fifty State Faller. Sarah Bray Nuckols is also helping me with the list. A mile of highway can take you a mile But a mile of Runway can take you anywhere!

Will you be on the north or south island or both? North island we jumped at Matamata and found a greeat group of folks our personal fave.. Also jumped north of Auckland with a good bunch, forget the DZ name. South Island was a little more tourist/tandem oriented. We jumped at Lake Wanaka-- not to be missed if possible but is mainly tandems. We jumped at the DZ in Christchurch--amazing ---airport is surrounded by civilization-unusual for a DZ make at least one jump there, not sure how they feel about low jump numbers. the glacier jumps are another can't miss on the south island. Good onya have a ball! A mile of highway can take you a mile But a mile of Runway can take you anywhere! Blue Sky Traveler
