NACD - The National Association for Cave Diving plans to attend the Fallfest Megadive on Saturday. If you are curious about what we do, stop by and talk with us between dives and meals. We can discuss our overhead training programs, conservation efforts, our recent seminar, and more. Visit us at www.nacdmembers.com and on facebook.
And another 20 or so that signed up on Facebook, but haven't checked in here.

For those who always ask what to bring. Here are some ideas...
Meat items for the grill (let's keep it to Hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, and chicken breast and buns) (We're trying to keep it simple so it doesn't take forever to cook for the group) (If you have something else you were thinking about and want to cook that yourself, that's great! Some have brought friers or smokers and added to the meat items that way.)
Eggs (We never seem to have enough.)
Items for the omlettes (additional meats, peppers, mushrooms, onions, salsa, wraps, cheese, etc.)
Items for Breakfast (Juices, fruit, muffins, coffee, creamer, etc.)
Charcoal (self starting)
Condiments (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, BBQ sauce etc.)
Bottled water
Side dishes (casseroles, baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, chips and dips/salsa, fruit salad, green salads w/dressing, veggie tray w/dip, etc.)
Deserts (Oh please don’t forget the deserts!)
Tiki torches and fuel (for around the fire)
Fire wood for the camp fire.

We also need volunteers to help out during for the weekend. THANKS!!!!
If we all pitch in and take a task, it makes for a fun weekend for everyone.

Woot Woot!

 

[Wayward Son]

I am new to megadive, but I have dove Ginnie before. 29 years ago...

Wife has never been there.

 

[The Chairman]

You'll both have a blast!

 

[Wayward Son]

I expect so. My friends & I had a great time back then. Just haven't had a chance to go back since.

I don't remember much of the layout. We camped. I recall how amazingly clear the water was & going in the ballroom. The current coming through the bars was awesome. There was a large catfish in the ballroom.

I recall the tanin turning the river brown, we didn't try to dive in it.

I also recall the strangest bug ever, looked like a cross between a grass hopper & a frog. And an armadillo running through the camp grounds

 

[ROXANNE]
