[Scuba_Jenny]

Sounds like fun! Add two noobs to the list! (Ron & Mary)

We'll bring burgers, buns, Doritos, salsa, a dessert and from what I've read on the previous threads, rum.

Rum is good! Smart man

Wonderful! I'll add you 2 to the list when I update it in a day or so.

And in case anyone didn't know, both Insta-Gator and divingsiren were noobs at the last Megadive. They must of liked it or they wouldn't be coming back!

As I wait in Atlanta for a connection to Jax , small update.
Water level keeps dropping at Ginnie. Unless we get a lot of rain between now and the MegaDive , well , er ...
(from the looks on the marks on the trees , it's down at least a foot , maybe more)
Water temp was 72 degrees and the flow in Devils was down just a bit.
Dove it last weekend and it was as clear as ever.
Lots of growth in the run now.
I didn't check to see how low the water was at Ginnie Spring , but it's probably down too from last fall.

Everything looked sparkling.

Rum, toilet paper and fire, oh my! Were not in Kansas any more Moonie.... :shocked2:

No were not doing that! We were just teasing Chad about falling across the fire last time and trying to roast his bells. And then I "lovingly" refered to Dawn as a Brat and referenced the time when "she" toilet papered my tent. (you know how kids are, brats) Then everythinhg just got confused and messed together. Kinda like smores, all melted together.(chocolate reference)
Whew. That was alot of explaining...

So the fire will be used for ambiance and warming our hearts, The rum will be used for drinking and the toilet paper... need I say more.

For those who always ask what to bring. Here are some ideas...
Meat items for the grill (let's keep it to Hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, and chicken breast and buns) (We're trying to keep it simple so it doesn't take forever to cook for the group) (If you have something else you were thinking about and want to cook that yourself, that's great! Some have brought friers or smokers and added to the meat items that way.)
