Are the Ozarks Midwest enough?

or are they part of the southwestmidwest? The conversation usually goes something like this: Me; Wow I just got back from an amazing trip to cave country and dived all the great systems down there but the drive is killing me! Other Midwest cave diving buddy; Holy Smokes I was just there too we musta missed each other at the fill stations by mere minutes all week! it woulda been nice to co-ordinate our trips so we could slpit driving duties!!! Sounds frustrating right?

So I would ask this of all my fellow midwest cave diver friends: wouldn't it be nice if we had a place to communicate and plan our trips and well just give each other a hard time about.... well whatever divers give each other a hard time about??? I noticed that geographically we don't really fit into any of the sub-forums so I asked TJ if we could have an area for the midwest. Now I have no idea how this interweb thingy and all this super fancy software stuff works so I don't know how practical it would be. So He suggests that we join in with the Ozark area and maybe rename it so anybody not reading my question would recognize that it's where we could get our stuff together so we don't have to pull into Madison Blue and sleep before getting a dive in. I'll throw it out to the wider community but I'm for it! Speak yer mind!

Are you aware of this site?

It's not mainly for travel coordination to NFL, but we do some of that, too.
It relates more to diving in the midwest area and has a good crowd of GL divers and cave divers.

We can rename the Ozark forum to Midwest/Ozark forum.

Scub, No I wasn't but I will check it out.

Forrest, Either you and TJ have been around each other for a very, very long time or it's that old great minds thing again..... That's exactly what he suggested! So maybe it's a go?

If you tell TJ "yes" it will be.

Yes, we Midwest/Ozark divers tend to put our trip reports and MW cave conditions here on CDF, but we do our socializing and trip coordination over on www.midwestdive.com . If you're looking for local cave diving buddies, local dive planning, or upcoming NFL travellers looking for carpool or to share a trailer or rental house, midwestdive.com is currently the place.

Where exactly are you getting this message? Did you try to open the forum, or click on the access link? If you try to click on a closed forum, you will get an error message, but maybe we need to change the wording of the message.

On the front page, there is a link that says "join our community today". When I use that link, I get the registration closed message.

I can access the sub-forum, but like the others if I try to post a message it says I don't have the necessary permission.

kidsdream, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Anyone needing access, send a PM to me, or one of the other administrators. You can also PM Slim, or a moderator, but they will still have to ask an administrator.

PS kidstream, I will go ahead and give you access.
