We are having our Annual Cave Adventurers Customer Appreciation Day!!

Park to Open at 9am for Free Diving, Food and Lots of gear to Demo!!
Come ONE Come ALL and lets have a FUN Filled Day!!!
Nov 8th is now marked on my calendar
Since moving to Florida I no longer know what a calendar (or a clock) is for, but I'll be there!
These are great events, I'm looking forward to it.
We will be there and hopefully have a few new things to show off. ;)
I'm moving a big ugly thing up north...if the timing works I'm thinking of bouncing straight down for this right after.
Fingers crossed, the timing seems almost perfect with today's developments...c'mon Mother Nature, don't mess with this please
That would be great. I hope to see you there.Quote:

Terry- you are going to be there anyway. Survey class.
Edd has "Customer Appreciation Day" dialed in almost as well as his trim and technique. (He needs just a little more experience :)
Last year was a blast and I'm looking forward to it. See you there!
We look foward to seeing all of you. I myself can't wait though it means lots of hard work.
I thought the cave survey was on the 1-2 of Nov?Quote:

I just may have a clear spot in my schedule.... Might just have to make this work!
What time is the park closed? Or has there been any discussion of camping?.... Errr surface intervaling there overnight? Is there power there or would a generator be warranted for such a surface interval?
The park is "closed" all winter, so that isn't an issue. They have allowed overnight "intervals" for similar events in the past, call Cave Adventurers to be sure.Quote:

I appreciate the effort to get permission for these special events, hopefully it can be an ongoing thing. Unfortunately Bently and I were riding together so I won't make it to the area until after Thanksgiving.
So you are coming down this weekend?Quote:

It looks like it will be a great weekend. Highs in the upper 60s, and lows in the 40s.
Yep. Two of us from the Old Dominion and possibly a third from Floridaland.Quote:

Sunday night we'll be heading towards Luraville or Fort White.

I will see you at JB then.Quote:

Round of applause to the Cave Adventurers team for another great day at JB. In my appointed role of "chick handing out raffle tickets" I got to meet EVERYONE; a great opportunity for a newbie to start putting names with faces and vice versa. Looking forward to seeing all of you on the pond in the years to come.

I think this was one of the best ones yet, and I think I have been to them all. I know the venders was off, guess they are getting ready for DEMA but the food and prizes could not have been organizes any better. The only complaint I had was they all started eating while I was still in the water.😂

It was great to see you again and I hope to be able to dive with you in the future. Thanks everyone for coming and for your support of us at Cave Adventurers. Happy and safe diving.Quote:

Thanks to my great dive buddies: Sandy on Saturday, and Oliver on Sunday. Thank you both for showing me new things, I really had a lot of fun. Forrest, I'm sorry we didn't get our timing right to make a dive happen, but I hope to catch you next time.
While I missed the cookies and the UWLD demos, the busy Saturday dives were a lot of fun...BUT, I will say that Sandy and I came to quite a scene (caught on video actually) on the way into our second dive that was a good reminder than even the top of JB can get pretty full...and messy... Overall though I really enjoyed the courtesy and great control exhibited by so many divers negotiating the limited space. I tip my hat to the class acts at this event, and those who made it happen, cheers.
Ah yes, and for all those who inquired, Zorro was completely wiped out and immovable at the end of the event, even more so on the long drive home Sunday -thanks to all who helped to make that happen.
I take it Zorro is your dog? Not surprised he was wiped out, he did a *lot* of fetching in cold water.Quote:

any word on whether and where the video from inside JB can be viewed? I was told it would be up online, but I don't know where.
Y'all are killing me! I sure wish I coulda made it! COOKIES!!!!
Glad all had a good time :)

Wow! I just printed off the recipe. My brother, brother in law and I are doing the shopping for our deer camp this afternoon, and headed into camp tomorrow morning. This will make a great addition to our usual appetizers of bacon-wrapped chicken livers and bacon-wrapped scallops!
Mike
Mmmmmm!
Shirley,
Sorry so late but I was working lately. Sorry for your lost of your son and my brother. We, as Marines, don't forget. Respect and rest in peace Cameron. Would love to have seen you at REACT.
Respectfully,
