March 22 08. Getting this in early for maximum participation. Eitje has expressed an interest, of course I'll be there. You know Steeleye loves you freaks, glad to have you. Pencil it in and get your asses to Colton's Point. Lucky, Chi, Thrash, this includes YOU.
My girlfriend sez we can only come if we dress up as papal crusaders and crash the pagan fire dancing. She wants to mix up low molar acid "holy water" to throw at you, so it will actually burn a little. To contribute to your delusions of being disfavorerd by god.
It looks like the cheapest flights are plus or minus 200 bones from Chicago to Baltimore. I can come and go anytime between thursday and tuesday. I need to know if there will be rides to/from BWI and caving.
Which is caving day? Sat, Sun, or Mon? Do I fly into BWI or somplace closer to the WV caves?
I think it will be easier to come to this than the equinox thing, which is two weeks before we move. Joe said he'd stand outside the cave and keep our stuff safe.
You'd be best to come in Thursday night or Fridays morning. We leave Fri afternoon and come back Mon morning. We cave both Sat and Sun. It's pretty laid back, you get up, have breakfast at the diner, chat for a while with other cavers, pick a group, gear up and go. Come into BWI and we'll take care of you from there.

Maybe. But then, when was the last time you climbed up and down 300' radio towers in a war zone?
I'm looking into tix now. Gotta find out if Jenny can come with too (a work schedule and money issue). Safe to fly back Monday night? Or should I put it off until Tuesday? Also, wet or dry caves? I can bring a headlamp, a coupla flashlights, and clothes I don't care about, but I ain't got a wetsuit.
