Spring Fool's Megadive 2012

[Imbodie]

Heather and I will be at the Mega-Dive for breakfast on Saturday and will bring our contribution.........


HOWEVER.......

After breakfast we are going to take a side trip to Ichetucknee Springs to dive the Jug Hole... It will be the last day of the season to do this particular cavern dive. After the dive we will return to Ginnie to hang out and do the whole social thing. We should have extra room if anyone would like to join us, but you WILL have to have your cavern (or better) cert. We are only cavern so you already know our limits on the dive.

Any one interested?

You just got MegaMikey's attention. He just ran upstairs to get some pics to show me, from this month's edition of NSS News.

So, why is Saturday the last day? What happens after that?

Roxanne,

Put Ty and I down for 36 eggs, a package of burgers, a package of hot dogs, and buns for each.

The park service only lets divers into the cave/cavern from some date I'm not aware of as I type this (I think October) till March... Saturday is March 31 and the last day you can dive at the springs... at least that is how I understood the state parks page.

It is also vague about cavern divers, but I've read on other forums that cavern diving is allowed there.

They only allow diving after the TUBING season is over... (SMILE)
And then it ends at the end of March.
I do believe cavern diving is now allowed at Jugg Hole.
It's a really beautiful cavern. (Cave is very small though eek)
Be ready for a LONG , LONG WALK !!!

Thanx!

For those who always ask what to bring. Here are some ideas... I'm going to start wittling down the list of what's needed.
Meat items for the grill (let's keep it to Hamburgers, hotdogs, 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.)
Eggs (We never seem to have enough.)
Items for the omlettes (additional meats, peppers, mushrooms, onions, salsa, wraps, cheese, etc.)
Items for Breakfast (small bag of coffee, creamer, insulated cups for hot beverages, hot chocolate, Juices, fruit, etc.)
Charcoal (self starting lg bag)
Condiments (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, BBQ sauce etc.)
Aluminum Foil Serving Pans (to hold the cooked meat)
Paper towels
Qt. Freezer baggies for the omelettes(Make sure they are the freezer kind or they will melt)
Bottled water
Side dishes (casseroles, baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, chips and dips/salsa, fruit salad, green salads w/dressing, veggie tray w/dip, etc.)
Deserts (Oh please don’t forget the deserts!)
Tiki torches and fuel (for around the fire)
Fire wood for the camp fire.
