<div dir="ltr">The very first PSUBS convention was at a lake in Oregon. I can't recall the name, but it was a really lovely place. It wasn't that long a drive from Portland, but seemed to be out in the wilderness.

Whiskeytown Lake was my first thought since it has a reputation for good visibility and a dive shop nearby in Redding. Also in Redding are various hotels, campgrounds, an airport, and other things to do and see. Whiskeytown Lake requires a National Park Service Special Use Permit application to be filled out ($50 lol) in order to operate submersibles (which I have in hand), and is also where Seabreacher submersibles are tested since they are manufactured in Redding. Please let me know if anyone has other west coast lakes to suggest. Maybe Lake Tahoe has another InnerspaceScience project.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Let me know what the final decision is for this year. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Tim<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> Personal_Submersibles [mailto:<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 27, 2020 7:16 AM<br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2020 - Maryland or California?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Jon.
