    I'm in Peoria IL, I'm about 1:45 away from the Quad Cities. A lot of my diving is up in Wisconsin, because that is where the divers from this board are. I hope to build up freediving a little more around here though. Problem here is finding the water in general, then depth. Spearfishing in Illinois, pretty much hopeless.

    If you have a free weekend and you want to dive, contact Whopperhead. Just post in the WI section and say you want to go and where...or ask where.

    As far as trips, I go when I can to Florida to visit my parents, but have not done much else. A trip to Panama City could be done in a long weekend. Like a 5 day deal or something.

Friday when I got home form my morning job I bought a six pack of ensure, got my gear together and made breakfast and two lunches, both for me, in preparation for a 4 Am departure for the Haigh Quarry. Before I go any further let me explain the ensure.
My Irish red ZZ Top bearded stick figure of a pirate buddy from Rhode Island who got me started on free diving utilizes ensure for two purposes. The first is to give him a bunch of calories before getting into the water because not only...

Well folks after the Florida rain, I mean flood devistated the dive plans for entire week I am off to see what the mid west has to offer for divers. Saturday I'm off to the Haigh Quarry billed as the Carabian of the mid west. Its located about 3 hours east of the Quadcities.
Depths reach 55 feet but thats not my goal, I'm more interested in playing around with weights and different depths. I am also going to try and take a self portrait with their paddle fish in the background.

Well as my previous blog entry touched on the fates of mice and men, Mother Nature once again provided a lesson in being humble. I ordered a new speargun and had it sent to my sisters house in Orlando so it would be there when I arrived. The plane landed under partially cloudy skies with a cool breeze blowing. I grabbed my carry on with my two masks and headed for baggage claim with an eagerness to my stride, and my chest puffed out as only a fearless adventurer does who likes to think he is control...

Since my last entry I have spent many hours searching out charters and other members in Florida for my diver. Each time I click send I keep the dream alive and I have received several offers to share expenses. I am becoming a little more optimistic that something will happen. I must also admit though that my attitude is shifting, because of the economy to a more what the heck just do it. You ask how does a bad economy cause me to adopt a what the heck attitude when such an attidude is so contradictory...

Well hello all. Yes the plans of mice and men tend to unravel. The more detailed your plans the more glitches that tend to pop up their ugly head and this trip is no different. I was trying to combine a visit to the parents with a trip and its looking more and more like I wont be shooting fish. It is so depressing to get to Florida all the way from Iowa and not be able to hunt fish, especially when it appears it will be several years till I can get there again. Every one said go south young man...
