DRIVING IN:

*
  

** You are going to want a car at this DZ **

You are going to want to get out and explore trust me 

 

We at Pussfoot love taking road trips. Road trips give us the opportunity to meet amazing people and visit new drop zones. Having our own car on a skydiving adventure gives us a sense of safety and an additional place to store belongings. So if you are like us and are going to drive there are some things to know.

*Use Waze - this will route you around traffic and show you all of the police. This app should save you some time on your journey.

*If you are coming from the NE let's say New York - trust me stay on the highway unless Waze tells you to exit. Just like Mom Waze knows best!

*Do you really need to bring that? Pack light, you are still in America and can stop to get whatever you need.

*Get a BP rewards card. You will earn money off every time you fill up. * There are BP gas stations all over the country. This last trip I saved over $50.00 in fuel using one. ( I cannot stress this car enough! I have saved thousands of dollars over the last five years. Link https://www.mybpstation.com/bp-driver-rewards )

*

*

*Remember to take breaks, switch drivers and stay hydrated and fueled up. The most important part of any road trip is enjoying the journey, no need to rush!

*

*

*Bonus - Pussfoot has its own Budget car rental discount code. It has saved me a ton of money on a bunch of trips --  X447988 -- enjoy

Things to see:

Ok so this is Tennessee, and I found the weather to be average. With that being said it will rain or get crazy windy at some point. So what do you do on a weather hold?  Well if you think you are done for the day feel free to grab a Beer. However, if you think the day could be saved and want to keep jumping here are a few things to do. I recommend you add at least one day to your trip to go explore. This region is filled with some amazing things to do and see.
* Ask manifest for ideas they are full of info!

* The Food - Go eat at Main st Meats and get the burger - it's the best I have ever had . Yup I said it again !
