Re: [MrsB] Twin Falls Hotel/Motel
There are a couple cheap hotels out there in Twin, starting at the Motel6, which seems to be about $35.99/nt. However, it is a Motel6. Its about a 3 minute drive from the B, and there are a couple big flags to drive by on the way. We're going to be there for Memorial Day, as are a lot of other jumpers with motel rooms and cars, so you might want to look into splitting rooms and getting car rides from new friends. I can't imagine that if you are jumping Memorial Day, you will have too much of a problem getting a ride to and from the motel to the B. If you are really interested, we're good friends with one of the TF local jumpers, and can get you in touch with him if you have more detailed questions that a local jumper could help with.
I went out a couple months ago to TF with a friend who was doing a FJC with Johnny Utah. Johnny is not only an incredible BASE jumper, but a super cool guy to hang out with and talk to. One of those guys that you can pick his brain all day. I don't think my friend gets on the internet often, but we've talked about his FJC with Johnny, and he has only great things to say. As I was peeking into the course, I got the impression that it was an excellent course, and from what I've seen from watching over several other FJCs, I thought it was the best one that I've seen.
Johnny is simply an incredible jumper, and also a great teacher. I would recommend going to Blockbuster and renting "SLC Punk", so when he gives you a nickname, it will make more sense...
