This weekend Oct 26-28th I am camping with non diving friend's at Manatee Spring's Magnolia loop site's 29,30&37 You and or friends are welcome to drop by if you or any friend's want to! Me and my son Nick will take our scuba gear and plan on getting a dive or so in. I have invited some other diver's but I am unsure who or how many will commit and or show up at this time?

I drive a green dodge dualy pickup

Man, I haven't been to Manatee Springs in years and certainly haven't dove it! Unfortunately, diving is out for me this weekend as I am meeting up with an old friend I never get to see anymore. Thinking about developing a slight case of anal glaucoma for work tomorrow (just can't see my butt going in) or skipping out early and diving in. . . what can I say, I'm addicted!
Have a great time up there! Wave hi for me too, I have fond memories of a car breaking down in Chiefland lol.
 
We had a great time camping at Manatee Springs! The wheather was beutifull. There was aproximently 12 of us. We got a couple of dives in and had a very enjoyable weekend. On the way home a few of us had lunch and a relaxing afternoon in Cedar Key.
 
Wow, I haven't been out there in ages. Actually the last time I was camping there I had left a small bit of water in a cup the night before - it had turned to ice when I woke in the morning :shocked:

Did your friends do any canoeing on the Suwannee?

My friends did do canoeing on the Suwannee while we got our dive's in.

Me and my son went to Manatee Spring's for Christmas a number of years ago and the the temp got down to 24* one night! Had the heater going full blast in our Volkswagon Vanagon Camper. Driving there with Chrismas lights going! Wraped around the camper inside and out.

That is cheating :28: We camped in tents :) those were some good times when the kids were younger. That said, I've had my fill :D It was near Thanksgiving when that water froze. I remember now, we smoked a turkey all day. It was awesome.
