My plan so far...

Friday

8AM meet at Morrison Springs for a single dive
Pack up and head slightly north for a little exploration adventure to Holmes Blue Spring
Eat lunch and head back to Morrison for an afternoon dive
Sally's!

Saturday
8-9AM in the morning at Morrison for a single dive
Drive out slightly North to find a boat launch I will use in the future to find a couple other springs - possibly check one of them out if it is close enough to the launch itself.
Sally's!
Spend the rest of the day/night at Vortex - hoping to get 2 dives
Vortoberfest shinanigans!

Sunday
Leave Vortex around 8:30AM and head to Cypress for 2 dives
Go home

Hey Tommy, what's the game plan for this weekend? Are we going to be at Vortex the whole time or will there be time for diving elsewhere?
 
hey... with you moving, you're gonna come back so that you're brother will show up with some more crawfish and cook them right? :D

:lotsalove: I get it. You don't care about me just my brother and the crawfish. You'll have to talk to him about that.

Kch! Saturday night, definately. Come on out and let us cook for you, for once! :D

I'll try not to come empty handed; I'll probably bake something, even if it is just a box of brownies.
 
Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I had said early on in the planning of this great event that I would be there, but as luck may have it I have a family reunion in Johnson City TN this weekend that I must attend.

Usually when ever there is a scuba event going on that i want to attend I end up having drill that same weekend. So that is not the case here. I will look to see pictures and hear the stories. Maybe I can dive with you guys sometime in the near future.

Make sure you throw some meat on the grill and have a beer or two for me saturday night.

ENJOY..

I've heard about these brownies of yours.... they've reached 'legend' status.
 
Hey guys,
I'm definitely interested in the whole Vortoberfest thing, seems like it's going to be a fun time, but I was wondering...

As a first timer what type of stuff would I need to bring?

If I decided to stay the night--I think it would only be Friday night as Saturday afternoon I have a date with the FSU/Miami game--would I need to make a reservation, or could I just crash in the corner of someone's site (if it's not too imposing)?

Also, with all the cavern/cave certified divers, is anyone going to be down for some regular open water type dives?

-Mike
You are very much welcome at my site! I am sharing with Kristal, she is bringing her own tent but I have room in mine if you dont mind sharing. I promise I don't bite, I just nibble! :D

I will be bringing the OOMPA POLKA musik! I AM READY! Krak, I think I have claimed the first polka with you! :blinking:

Ich BIN BEREIT ZU PARTEI AM VORTOBERFEST!

Dame Carolyn :coke:
ps...my Tent will have the GERMAN DRINKING sign on it!

Everyone is welcome to join me on my diving :D You and Kevin might have to arrange to get a canoe to get to Cypress though! My boat will likely be full.

That would be cool if there's time. :D
 
Friday's plans changing slightly due to the weather. Storms have prevented me from packing the boat up and the weather is supposed to be poor tomorrow morning as well. I'm likely going to leave the boat at home on this trip.

My plan so far...

Friday

Meet at 12(Noon) at Morrison a set of dives(2)
Sally's at night!

Saturday
8-9AM in the morning at Morrison for a single dive
Drive out slightly North to find a boat launch I will use in the future to find a couple other springs - possibly check one of them out if it is close enough to the launch itself.
Sally's!
Spend the rest of the day/night at Vortex - hoping to get 2 dives
Vortoberfest shinanigans!

Sunday
Leave Vortex around 8:30AM and head to Cypress for 2 dives if I can find someone interested in sharing canoe rental costs.
Go home

Hopefully this will be the final set of plans - LOL :D
