Wrinkles December '06 Dive, BBQ and Campout Planning Thread - Leo Carrillo

[headhunter]

I've started this new thread for planning purposes.

I'll keep updating this first post as a synopsis of the info in this thread.

When: Saturday, Dec. 9th and Sunday, Dec. 10th
Where: Leo Carrillo


What is the Wrinkles Dive?

This is a monthly gathering of all divers and non-divers in SoCal who can make it. It's a lot of fun involving diving, eating, socializing and now even camping!

It all started when our SoCal member, Wrinkles, mentioned to a group that she dove with that it would be really fun to be able to get together at least once a month. Pasley, took off with the idea and announced the first "Wrinkles Dive". The rest is history!

It's open to everyone of all skill levels from "I'm not certified yet" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

We've found this to be a great way to meet our fellow divers locally and many new dive buddies have been found though these "dive soirees".

This year my company Christmas Party will be on the Saturday night of this weekend, so I won't be able to show up with the usual camping equipment that I have provided in the past.

I will definitely be there for the diving and BBQ on Saturday morning and early afternoon and will drive back on Sunday morning to hang out and dive with everyone all day.

As a result, someone else will need to make the reservations for the campground this time. We'll all chip in to defer costs when we get there. It usually works out to $5 each if we get 2 campgrounds for Friday and Saturday night and 1 campground for Sunday to hang out in.

By the way, #15 and #85 are great back to back sites and offer a lot of room for a large group. Campsite #15 is the best one to have for 3 days, but you can't choose the sites until you arrive.

It will be great seeing everyone for another fun filled weekend!

I don't see why I won't be able to make the trip. I'll confirm it and repost. :14:

 

[Rickster]

I have been soooo busy to go to any SB functions. I miss everyone, so, I am going to try to make a day or two or three to this. Put me down for all three days, and include Teresa, as always. I can't wait to see everyone again.

I will bring water, mustard, ketchup, and mayo.

Rick

 

[Makin Raider]

Sean and I will defiantely be there on Saturday all day, I don't know about the camping part yet.

Put us down for Hot Dogs and Buns - Hebrew National from Costco!!! - The only kind of dogs, .
