Once we settled into camp, we realized we might have made a tactical error.
This was between us and the action....

This was taken only about half way up and does not convey the steepness factor with any accuracy at all. We walked up and down this thing a minimun of four times a day. Not to mention all the walking I did down the 400 yard runway to watch Hub Man land in the grassy field down there.
It was quite the workout all said and done.

So this was the drill....

A plane full of jumpers takes off.....

About 15 or 20 minutes later they land... [This is not Hub Man]

Load up for the ride back to the jump shack...

Lather, rinse, repeat.

In the meantime, I started a felted bag....

I'm calling it 'The Lost Prairie Bag' in honor of the colorful parachutes. It is finished, but not felted. I'll take pictures when it is all done.

    That was quite a workout.
    Beautiful place though.
    Can't wait to see the bag!

    Could you actually tell which jumper was Hub Man as they came down or do they all sort of look alike?
