To me the best LD is always the one where you can get to your intended LZ, even if you have to kick the damn tree tops out of the way to get there.

A while back when HPAC didn't have out-of-country insurance coverage I was under the mistaken impression that USHPA covered me insurance-wise when out of the country.
