I will bring corn chips.

Ok. Having done this for a while, what, exactly, is a "bunch of corn" ?

http://www.cavediver.net/forum/showt...e-Social-items

Specifically, posts leading up to and including #20.


(That is a link to last year's social items - don't try to reply to it, as it is closed.)

I'd love to be there (again)..... but it probably wouldn't be a good plan at this point... I figure I'll give the new "wifey" the call on destinations, and unfortunately, i don't think it'll be at Ginnie or even Florida.. :(
My heart will be with you all though..

That being said.. Can I "sponsor" some food/drinks/etc for the festivities without actually being there?

Now that Ive got a new camper, I might can get the wife to go . Last year I couldnt rub 2 nickels together but something happened with the housing market and Ive got stairs comin out of my ears. I think we'll be there unless Im sick again.

Sure. Pick an item or items and figure out how much it costs. You can PayPal me the money (rc.edge@hotmail.com) and I'll put your name beside the item and buy it and bring it to the social.

We already have a cave diver from New York doing just that,

I will bring 22, 22a, 23, 23a

- Brandon Cook

Got it - thanks! - Slüdge

Put me down for 27, 27a, 27b, 28, 28a, 28b, & 29. This will be our first time (so be gentle) and I'll have my non diving wife in tow who makes a really good Chili I'm sure I can talk her into whipping up a batch or two.

Edit: T. Bix, I changed the numbers around a little since I decided we need more dogs than burgers.
I still have you down for the number you agreed on, but this opens it up for someone else to bring a few more packs. - Slüdge

Where are you going to camp at?
How about a few of us with RV's find a place to camp together?, How many are going to camp?

We will be camping as well, I was going to camp there at Ginnie. They have full hook up spots up the hill.

T.Bix, I got all the buns last year. Sam's had double-eight-packs for $2.16 each, so unless you can find store brands for less than a buck per eight-pack, you should keep that as an option.

As far as camping, we just parked the Winnebago next to the Ginnie pavilion. I'll see if we can get permission to park three or four campers there this time.

Looks like Ginne it is, camping wise. I'll be down there this weekend, I'll check out the sites, I'm after 50 amp and sewage / water if possible. Yeah I'm the guy who has never been to Ginnie Springs.

I'll bring 7-9 ( 60 hamburger patties) Just regular frozen ones are OK, as long as they are all Beef?


Edit: posted - thanks!

Tim, we can hit the restaurant supplier when you get here, depending on how many you think you need.

Anyone who wants to use my account at Restaurant Depot is welcome to. They are scattered all over the country.

That would be great! Is there power down there or do we need a generator or two? I can run for several days without hookups and can supply some power to slow cookers, lights, and chargers.

Thanx Pete, I will take advantage of your offer for sure and I'm certain that at least a few others will.

Well probably try to get a site on the hill. Im going to dive, wifes going to camp. She wouldnt be content in the parking lot but more in the woods, If I can even talk her into going.

FWIW: My wife will not be diving either but she likes to play cards and socialize (gab, hang out, whatever....) and if we get permission to park down near the pavilion I will prolly do that for the day or two and then move back to regular spot up the hill as the party breaks up or I run out of willing dive buddies!

Lynn is still debating on whether or not to do the Galaxy Dive - she has fewer than twenty dives at the open water level. So your wife will have company whatever she decides.

(There are some cave divers who attend the mini-cookout and decide to have a beer or two at the bonfire, so they skip the Galaxy Dive.)

Speaking of OW divers, I assume it's OK for my Daughter who is OW to dive the Galaxy dive? She has maybe a 100 or so dives and is comfortable in the dark and will be with me.

They have no rule against it.

I know Ginnie doesn't, just wanted to be sure it was OK with you guy's

Sludge,

I've got #11, #12, and #13. And will bring some extra barley pop to share. Looking forward to meeting everyone!


Edit: Thanks, MacLeod. I decided 72 total dogs wouldn't be enough since we'll cook that many at the Galaxy Dive alone, so I changed the list to say you'll bring 72, and someone else can sign up to bring more for the NYD social. - Slüdge

It will be very very dark for a bit, unless you watch the exit. Then it will be very very galaxy for quite a while. She'll be fine as long as you both get there before most of the crowd and settle onto a ledge. After a while the ledge space will be a little crowded and then trim and bouyancy will matter much more.

I'll bring 20 and 21



Edit: Done. See you there!

I have a Sam's Club business membership and would be happy to bring the Sodas if that's OK?

EDIT: OK, you are signed up for them.

Ill bring #48, but like 3 gallons of sweet tea from Publix.

Ken I've actually seen someone put Ketchup on a frank?????? It's very disturbing.

This is the south. We put mustard AND ketchup on hot dogs.

(Although I have a friend who puts mayonnaise on them.)

12 and 13 are already volunteered (on Post #1, not the later post where Post #1 is quoted), so I have you down for 1, 2, and 43. If you still want to bring more, bring an extra 20# of charcoal, but if we end up not using it, you can take it home with you.

Thanks!

Okay, we're four days out! We have most items covered, but not all. So if you are coming at the last minute, or are feeling extra generous, here's what we need:

Chips! Monday night's cookout is just hot dogs and chips. So we need to make sure we have plenty of great, big bags of assorted chips.

Cheese! We need several 24-packs of American cheese for the burgers.

Ice! Sometimes, Ginnie provides us with a boatload of ice, but I don't know about this year. Bob or Marissa, fill us in.

Baked beans. Or your specialty soup, whatever it may be. If you want to bring a crockpot, there is electricity.

Lettuce, tomatoes, and onions! We have a knife to slice them.

Also, we probably have enough drinks and charcoal, but if a few people will bring an extra 12-pack of their favorite soft drinks, you can leave them in your car, and only break them out if we run low. The same goes for charcoal - if you regularly grill with charcoal, throw a 10-pound bag in your car that we could use in an emergency.

20# of charcoal-got it.

OK. I'm sick of the cold...I packed up this morning & I'm on my way
Hope to be there for the CDF social, got 2300 miles to go

Our "cold salad" volunteer had to cancel, so that would be good.

But if you would like, bring a sack of glow sticks!

Our glowmaster was called back to work up north and we have only fifteen glow sticks. (Last year we had over a hundred.)

Anybody that has any, bring all you can spare - I would like to have at least fifty for the Galaxy Dive.

Cold Salad is no problem, as I've never attended before, what sort of quantity should I get?
Dumb question...Where would I find glow sticks?

Ill bring some light sticks...

I'm bringing twenty glowsticks for the event

Number 3 Baked Beans

I'll bring chips and can add some glow sticks. What color? And, where can we get them in High Springs? I am teaching and may not read the forum tomorrow so if someone would like to visit scubacoachtrace.com and text or call that number (cell), I'll be happy to help provide some missing items. May have 3 or more friends coming. Thanks! Looking forward to the event!

A bunch?

I don't know, just bring a medium-sized tub from Wal-Mart.

As far as glow stick color, it doesn't matter - we mix it all together in a bag. Next year we'll find out where to get the liquid in bulk.

I can bring 24, 40, 41, 42, 25, 26. Do you need chicken or do you have enough meat?

Hey Russell, put me down for 2 also. I'll look for tablecloths at Wal-Mart as well

1, 2, 38, & 39 are done. I also got a bunch of paper towels & garbage bags.
See you in a few hours
Bentley

Slüdge,

Katie, I and two others would like to join in. What is the best thing we can bring??? If I don't hear back we'll bring some deserts and beer.
