Well, we bought a tent last night. Attempted a pre-campout assembly this evening. Either grounds for divorce, or a great comedy routine.

OK
(Just did the Bats last Saturday...) Flow was up but I think that is about to change (see previous post on flooding)
The higher the river , the lower the flow.
Lets hope the roost doesn't get flooded out ... (EEK)
I hope to get a camera out this weekend up near Luraville/Branford and get some pictures. (they had a record stage up at Madison Blue)
Ya , Cave East (CEE) will mix Trimix too.
32% is the banked Nitrox as previously stated.
Of course , they haskel O2 and you can custom mix fer sure.
Beano
P.S. Us non-professionals just go with 32% and O2

Andy-Aye lad! Bring yer tums!
Babyduck-Screw the Anglish! Throw some Scotch and Irish inta tha mix an' see wot yer skejl does!
I second Jenny! Make our own pavillion!
NOTE: From now on... anybody posting NEGATIVE weather conditions for a Megadive will be roasted on the spit, molested by Andy and launched by Trebuchet into a pit of Rabid Anti-otters! Oh yeah, and we're filling all their tanks with 100% methane mix from the Scubafool bank system! Do I make myself CLEAR?!
I have uncovered the rumtote and by God if I had known I had that much Cruzan in there, it would be GULPED!!! Money is kind of slim with the new business and no job, but WILL definitely be on this megadive! Today I will be refitting the megatarp for the Asylum of the Kilted One.
I have some charcoal here, but we may need more. I will be bringing gear to clear sites, shovel, rake, broom... fun to ride on a kilt...
OH YEH!!! I have a box with two grass skirts, a coconut bra and a seashell bra that are being refitted for use around the campfire again! That's right! The phoenix have arisen again! The cursed passing of the skirts will see a whole new megadive! Mwu ha ha ha!!!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled conondrums. BEEEEEEEEEP!

Wish we could come!!! Me and piratewench1 had a great time with everyone last fall!
But it is the last weekend of spring turkey and I promised to take my son hunting in the Green Swamp the same weekend.
