Blue Springs (Waldron, IN) on Sat. 6-Aug-05

[rab]

I think hoosier's got it about right. I'd like to see an arrival by 9ish, in the water certainly before 10, lunch (packed) during a leisurely SI, and a second dive early afternoon.

I'm still debating whether to just forget the O2 cleaning of my tanks since I only ever get Nitrox in Florida at FillExpress and they bank EAN32, EAN36, and EAN40 so who needs to get a PP blend? I'll probably get at least one tank filled there so a third dive is possible (and if the weather is nice then it's almost definite!).

So, John, are you going to join me?

Rob,

Please let me know how many crews can get to BS this Saturday. Sometimes, it is so competitive to get the shelter at BS due to the scuba classes. All shelters were occupied at 7 a.m. last Saturday.

Either Komi hunter or I can reserve one of north shelters (red circle on the map) to welcome Ohio Crews.

Best,
Hoosier
P.S. Brian, by the what time you can be at BS?

I'm thinking since I got the day free, why not pack up and head out to the Springs..as I've never been there before.

Hey John,
I'm going as is about 4 from my dive club and at least a couple of divers from Indiana (who will be getting there early).

The only thing that's changing is meeting at Cracker Barrel in Forest Park rather than the Perkins in Harrison. AND we're meeting at 8:00am instead of 7:30.

SOooo, we probably won't get to Blue Springs until much closer to 10am than 9ish. So go ahead and sleep in (but only a little bit!!).

I hope to see you there!

-Rob

 

[rab]

You can expect to meet about six of us tomorrow, but not until close to 10am. Perhaps on your first SI?

See you tomorrow,

P.S. Mine is the red Volvo S70 with license "AD REM"

[rab]

Oh, and I just took a look at the map to find the red circle. I've normally gone around to the far side of the quarry specifically because of the fondness that instructors seem to have for those docks/shelters. We'll look for you in your red circle first. How will we recognize you?

-Rob

P.S. Here's the directions link from Cracker Barrel to Blue Springs

 

[Hoosier]

Ok, If then, I will reserve the red circled shelter that I indicate tomorrow morning. I will bring Honda CRV Silver. I haven't seen any other silver CRV over there so far.

It is true you can get in anytime BUT they ask if you are going to be there before 8 or after they leave you make arrangements so they know who is out there in case there is a problem.

Nope! They actually open 24hrs 365days. It sounds like Ohio crews can get to BS at around 9ish.....

 

[Hoosier]

So, are you going to come or not? If you come, what time are you able to be at BS?

I will be there around 7 a.m. It was all packed at 7:30 a.m. last Saturday. David came to BS at 7:10 a.m. So, if you come, I will let him know for you.
