Some of us will be meeting here as well.

Be ready to depart the first meeting location no later than 0820.
What time you heading out from Lorton? Got a friend with a "TJ" who may join in. If we don't manage a Lorton link-up then definitely see you NLT 0820 at the Sheetz in Haymarket.

Oh, yeah!!! I got certified and had to dive that thing in June and the bottom temp was 65 degrees. My son got certified last summer and had to dive it in May and the temp was 55 degrees. 7mm wetsuit, hood, gloves and booties can't even touch the chill There is a plane, school bus, platforms at various depths, and a few cars down there. Not bad in a dry suit

Default Meet up in Haymarket

Cool, I will see you guys out there

There were fires out in GWNF? Wow...working and moving are taking up too much time

Is there going to be somewhere near the trail to air back up or should I bring the little electric air pump?

Default Escape Velocity

Just wondering what everyone's planned cruising speed is for heading to GWNF this weekend. I seldom top 65 and take a while to get there. I would hate to think I would slow the group down.
