    Light the fire under whomever is supposed to post the details on the CDS site. Is it an all-day event, an overnight event, or what? If it's all day, I can drive up that morning and drive home that night. If folks are going to camp, I could do that. Friday night? Saturday night? Both?

    I'm looking forward to this. I need to go ahead and order my new drysuit, because 52° is too cold to be in a leaky suit!

    That was how it sounded to us. We might be able to make it down, have to let you know at TAG.

    Here is the information on the CDS TAG Social and Dive. This promises to be a great time! Be sure to check the CDS website for diving condition updates a week or so prior to the social.

    NSSCDS Tag Social and Dive

    This year’s NSSCDS TAG Social and Dive will be held on Saturday October 24th at James H. Floyd State Park near Summerville, Ga. We will be located in Picnic Shelter #2 ( take the first left as you enter the Park(at the sign). Follow the road around the lake to the picnic shelter and parking area at the top of the hill). The social will begin at 9:00am. Meet fellow cave divers from the Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia area and discuss cave diving in the TAG region. Folks from Florida are welcome too! Go cave diving at a very special TAG dive site, Craig’s Mill Blue Hole. There will be drawings for door prizes throughout the day. For lunch, we will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs and will also be serving salad and drinks. All activities are free! Come get reacquainted with old cave diving friends and make some new ones!

    Directions:

    From I-75 - Take exit 306 for GA-140 toward Summerville/Adairsville
    Take GA-140 to it’s end at Armuchee. (16 miles); Turn right on US-27(Summerville Rd.) toward Summerville (appox. 11.5.miles) to Floyd State Park sign, Sloppy Floyd Lake Rd.
    Turn left at Sloppy Floyd Lake Rd.(Floyd State Park Sign) go appox. 3 miles to the park.
    Georgia State Parks charge a daily $3 per vehicle parking/entry fee, if you do not have an annual state park pass.

    Conditions:

    Craig’s Mill is a steep sided sinkhole. The cave itself is huge. There is almost no flow in the cave and there is heavy silt on the floor of the cave. Away from the main lines the cave is subject to considerable percolation from the ceiling. Water temperature is likely to be 52 – 55 degrees F. At this time we don’t know exactly what the visibility will be, but because of the recent heavy rains in the northwest Ga. Area we expect the visibility to be down. Water levels are known to fluctuate up to thirty feet in this sink. Because of the recent rains, water levels may be high. Divers should be prepared for depths of up to 130’ on the main line. Depths can reach 180’ in certain spots in the cave. We will check conditions at the site closer to the day of the social and post those on the CDS website.

    Diving:

    “Full” cave divers may dive without a guide, however, guides will be available if requested in advance. There may also be guided diving available for divers at the Basic/Intro and Cavern levels depending on visibility at the site on the day of the social. Because Craig’s Mill is a fragile cave on private property the number of dive teams at the site at any one time must be limited. Diving will be by reservation. To make a reservation to dive, email: Secretary@nsscds.org with your name (and the names of your dive team); your(and the team member’s ) cave certification level; and whether you would prefer to dive in the morning or afternoon. If you aren’t coming to the social with a buddy you can buddy with another diver at the Social. You will receive an email response confirming your reservation. Directions to the dive site will be provided upon check-in at the Social.

    Camping/lodging:

    For those who want to camp in the area, tent and RV camping is available at Floyd State Park. The campground is very nice but small, so reservations are advised by the park since this will be one of their big fall leaf weekends. Website is: http://gastateparks.org The nearest motels are in Summerville( appox. 5 miles from the park). Here is the web address of the newest one: http://www.coachinnsuites.com/

    Looks like I will be working until 7am on the 24th, but I may be able to drive up after finishing the shift. Sounds like it would be fun !!!
