I hope not too many negative vibes result from this. >Any body know the scoop? > > joep@stardent.com Well, I hear that things are pretty touchy at on the 'Hills side about anyone passing back and forth between the two properties. George doesn't allow anyone to cross to his place with a rig from Skydive City (SC). On the other hand, I hear that SC has lower jump rates, and doesn't care what you do, as long as you don't kill yourself, at least at their DZ. Finally, I hear that SC has the support of the town, whereas Z-Hills beat the town at a law suit recently, thus creating non-good vibes in that area. John Jackson
