Count me in! Looks like we are going to have a blast, i cant believe its already august. This year is almost gone but that only means one thing, Megadive is almost here. Look forward to seeing some new faces and people from the past. Lets make this a great weekend like always!!

You can put me down for a big pack of eggs.
 
I already requested the Friday the 26th off from work, so I expect to come up there by noon and enjoy some fun with all who is there!

Chad---do you and Mark have extra tanks for a poor scuba girl like me? :(
:)

I can bring some desserts, water, snacks, beer...and a bottle of rum for Jenny!

I look forward to a Megadive where my tent doesn't get punk'd! :cool:
 
Love to see everyone checking in! I'll put everyone on the list this weekend.

We are just so helpful around here. I fixed your post for you also. :D

Cardzard and Roxanne - A cooler full of water, diet and non diet sodas, and juices for the kids for the group dinner. Then for brkft, 18ct eggs, precooked bacon, sausage and ham, and some asst veggies for the omlettes. And last but not least, Glow sticks for the galaxy dive.
Scuba_Jenny and Hermit Crab - s'more's fixins' and other stuff
jeandiver - [-]breakfast bags (baggies), [/-] (we have plenty left from last time) chips, salsa, brootworst (as always)... Oh , charcoal too...!
scorpion2012 and Montana - Charcoal but it will need fluid and ????
tvtech-diver - Big pack of eggs.
divingsiren - Desserts, water, snacks, beer...and a bottle of rum for Jenny!
And a bunch who checked in on FB.

For those who always ask what to bring. Here are some ideas...

Meat items for the grill
(let's keep it to Hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, and chicken breast and buns) (We're trying to keep it simple so it doesn't take forever to cook for the group) (If you have something else you were thinking about and want to cook that yourself, that's great! Some have brought friers or smokers and added to the meat items that way.)
Eggs (We never seem to have enough.)
Items for the omlettes
(additional meats, peppers, mushrooms, onions, salsa, wraps, cheese, etc.)
Items for Breakfast
(Juices, fruit, etc.)
Charcoal (self starting)
Condiments (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, BBQ sauce etc.)
Aluminum Foil Serving Pans (to hold the cooked meat)
Paper towels
Qt. Freezer baggies
for the omelettes(Make sure they are the freezer kind or they will melt)
Bottled water
Side dishes (casseroles, baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, chips and dips/salsa, fruit salad, green salads w/dressing, veggie tray w/dip, etc.)
Deserts (Oh please don’t forget the deserts!)
Tiki torches and fuel (for around the fire)
Fire wood for the camp fire.
Items for the rum tote
It is looking a little scarce and Moonie would be disappointed. If anyone wants to sacrifice some rum for the rum tote gods they will appreciate it. If not we will just have to have a new dance for newbies around the fire to please them.

We also need volunteers to help out during for the weekend. THANKS!!!!
If we all pitch in and take a task, it makes for a fun weekend for everyone.

There is a Winn-Dixie in High Springs , open 7 AM to 10 PM every day.

OK , instead of the baggie thingies , I'll get some charcoal lighter fluid stuff. Oh , also potato salad too. (SMILE)

That's your latest BEANO Update.

P.S. Did a dive in Peacock today. DEFINATELY looks different after da flood. There is some really tanic river water at the top of some of the tunnels. It's NICE and WARM. Maybe I'll try and bottle some of it and bring to Mega. ( lol )

Thanks Jean! I'll add your items on.
Glad you got in a good dive or 2 this weekend. A lot of the watering holes got roughed up from all the flooding. The Hudson Grotto by our house is so dark you can barely make out the white sand in the shallow area next to the dock. It will just take time to settle and clear.
