Day Thirteen: Skydiving in Boise!

Day Thirteen and most people would be freaked out about the 13 and not jump out of an airplane, but not Robby!

We got up early this morning after staying up late last night and chatting with Lenny and Kathy to head to the Harley shop to get our oil changed (it has been over 4000 miles afterall!) Then we were off to the drop zone! Lenny has made so many jumps he is a pro at this. He is not a tandem jump master though so Robby got strapped to a guy named Kevin who Lenny assured us was a great guy with lots of experience. Lenny did go up with them and jump out at the same time. The video that they shot from the Kevin's arm camera was awesome! Lenny was right there floating along with them. I stayed on the ground and took several photos of them coming in and landing. Since I have broken one ankle and severely sprained another I chickened out! ;-) A couple of photos are attached above and most are on Facebook.

We got our bikes and headed back to the house to chill. Yesterday wore us out. We had awesome steaks and Robby has finally found a beer that is almost as good as Busch Light. His new love is Alaskan Amber, but you can't get it in Indiana. I guess I am going to have to start being his beer mule on my Alaskan routes like I am the tea mule for his mom from Iceland. ;-)

Gotta go to bed, we are off to Butte, Montana tomorrow! Lenny and Kathy are going to pick up their son John tomorrow north of here and we are gonna convoy (Rubber Ducky) up to McCall with them and have brunch before parting ways. We have had a lovely time at their house. It is wonderful to recover from our death march just chilling out (well after leaping from a perfectly good airplane--Robby.)

Til tomorrow!
