The sites chosen border the primitive camping area so we actually have about ten acres of camping space behind us. The largest camp group we had was about 42 people. I had reserved 5 electric sites and we didn't need them all. If you want your OWN site with electric, it will cost a few bucks extra per night, and you will need to reserve it with Ginnie NOW as they fill up quick! Unless you plan on bringing an RV or Pop-up camper, we have found that these two sites and the extension cords is usually enough for everyone.
A galaxy dive is when people dive the ballroom at night and release cyalume nightsticks into the water. It seems as if you are swimming with the stars. We have now found that;
a) the sticks themselves are a hazard and litter the place heavily
b) the contents are NOT toxic and it is better to just cut open the sticks and let the fluid out.
This also makes for an interesting mix since all the droplets become scattered and smaller and it gives more of an effect when done in front of the grate.
I will be donating my rum to the stash. I will also be picking up some exotic rum, possibly Morgan Spiced Coco.
Plans for the weekend are as follows;
Friday: Arrival, setup, diving. This will be a fend for yourself evening for food. I can give locations for late night dining, and/or make a cooking space available.
Saturday: Breakfast, Diving, Lunch, Diving, Dinner-mostly leftovers from lunch, some other stuff may be added by incoming campers or group decision, pumpkin carves, galaxy/night diving.
Sunday: Breakfast, site breakdown, lunch, diving as available
***NOTE*** If weather is good and the river is clear we may have a CRO-River Tour.
For those of you noobs, it's a river drift dive.
(For you Megadive Vets, bring a flack jacket and an M-4! We'll use the noobs as shields!)
