I don't think that there will be anybody out there in freefall. The Pilatus skydiveplane has already landed from the flight in which he dropped off the skydivers that are landing at that moment. Those landing at that time are usually the larger chutes and/or tandemchutes. Other jumpers if there are any have landed already. I think there are none, since it is not very busy at the clubhouse and on the parking near the club. Tha campers on the north I am not really sure about, coulod be just campers. But normally in that corner they are flying with RC planes also. Beautiful day though and I've seen this a couple of times from an altitude:-) Wanna see what my first freefallljump-lesson was like on this spot a little over two years ago and have live footage on this placemark?
