Vortoberfest V - 2009 Trip Report and Pictures

[SuPrBuGmAn]

I stopped by early Saturday on the way East to get some fills at Vortex. I saw a few of the regulars and said hello to everyone I could find, but I guess alot of people were headed out towards the gulf or some of the other area springs. It was great seeing the people out there, wish I could have seen everyone else and spent more time over there. I'll definately be out for Spring-SpringFest with plans to stick around more.

Bugman you were definitely missed, especially around the campsite! Looking at all the rain tho, you definitely missed out on some of the suffering!

LOL, I heard it rained pretty bad on Friday.

I nearly had to scrap my entire weekend, but luckily I was able to hitch a ride out to some cavern dives(even one cave dive!) a little further East. With a bit of luck, my work situation has finally become solid again, and I'll be able to attend this kinda thing without any issues, ugh! I was able to stop by real quick and see Pete, the Snep's, Denise and the AAs, Docc, wjefferis, ClanMom, AUkade, and Tom Smedley while getting some fills(sorry if I forgot anyone).

I like this one of a large bubble from below the best of all the shots I took. See, Safety stops can be productive photo opportunities! It took me about 20 attempts to finally time it to get a shot in focus, I just kept hoping the diver below me would stay there!
