Has anyone heard from John lately? I want him to give me a call.

I am very low maintenance. I'll sleep on the ground in my tent, on the floor in a house in my sleeping bag, whatever.

Just tell me what to do!

Crap! Looks like the firehouse is full!
I am good with it though. Count Gena and I in on the count!
I am making a commitment. Ouachita, here we come! Still need boat accomodations.

I'll call you later today, Shawn.

It looks like we're going to need a second boat. Chances are Brandon will join us too. He just can't commit until right before as he's scheduled to work the Fling that weekend, but he doubts it'll have enough people to make the trip. I'd say there is a 75% chance he'll be with us.

I'll probably camp out, so put me down for that. No money down on a boat yet, but I'll probably have to do that soon. 9-10 is too many for Tony's boat. We can put four on his and six on the rental and not worry about gear. It won't be expensive and we'll all be more comfortable and safe.

I don't know a lot of the details; but let me try:

There is a boat rental place located at the spillway (next to the dam). That boat rental place has a pontoon boat for rent. The pontoon boat is, simply, huge. We had 20 divers + 4 non divers on board a few weeks ago. By the end of the weekend, we had 50+ Al 80 cylinders on board too. The boat was comfortably spacious; but it is just an open-deck boat with a "car port" awning and a head. Nothing fancy. I don't know what the rental rates are.

It'll be like Swamper CAMP....

Well, that sounds like too good of a deal to pass up. Count me in on the Firehouse. I think Brandon is coming, so add him into the mix and put him in the Firehouse for now too. If we get more than 8 who want to stay there before he commits we can always find some floor space if he does join us at the last second. I know I've slept in worse places than the floor of a cabin.
