Dive Team on the road...


Members of the Dive Team once again made the trip down to Harrisonburg Virginia for the 2015 bottle show of the Historical Bottle Diggers of VA where they once again took 1st place for "Best of Show" and "Most Educational".....


Chet, Sue, and Joe put together a very impressive display and manned the location the entire six hours of the show and was busy with people attending the show the entire time. This is the third year that the team has submitted a display and numerous people returned to visit and discuss the teams actions...




With the bottle show being the main reason for the trip, the Dive Team members were also able to get some "Recreation" in with one day visiting the tunnel at Afton that was 1835-60 era and was used by Stonewall Jackson to move troops during the Civil War....





After that there was some time spent on the river practicing swift water tactics along the way.....





Along the river we stopped at two different Caves and this was the smaller of the two....






Further down river we then visited the larger cave and this time ready with proper gear and lighting. This cave went back approximately 400 to 500 feet and never did make it to the end but Sue did make a great attempt...
