This last saturday two of my buddies and I where driving around in the woods in NFL. We where looking to get to this one spring and J said trust me I know the way. As we had planned it, only J and I where going diving, but then due to the unexplained nature of the fairer sex, H was able to go as well. So we met up and had a quick bite to eat. then loaded all the gear into H's truck and went riding along in NFL, I felt like I should have a cold beer in hand as we looked like a bucnh of rednecks driving down the highway. We got to this dirt road and J said this is the way, we turned left, we turned right, J was sure then he wasn't. we stopped along the way to look at little sink holes, finaly we came to a dead end and the J wasn't so sure anymore but said we need to be over here. we got out of the truck, walked down to the river and looked around as there was a boardwalk. so at the river what do we see but a nice sized boil. Then it came down to who was going to dive it, I told H and J I would flip a coin if it ended up heads H was going, comes up tales J was going. I sure didnt want to go into that cold river water. then they just gave me a look like your out of your everloven mind, which I think I am. I knew we where not leaving untill someone idiot went into that cold river to see what was making that boil, I got suited up and jumped in. There was about to feet of vis in the river and Holy SH#T was it cold. I went down the bank and foud a drop off and followed it down, I felt warm water, I was think this is good, its not just any eddy. Then I came into warm clear water, I found the spring, hell yes, I looked for a good spot to tie off and went in this was a small hole I moved a couple rocks out of the way and squeezed in, I was pluging the hole flow was ripping, my hart was pounding, I made it into room that was really sandy and the vis was around 30ft, but I could see really well, I didn't see any line, hart pounding faster, and I am sure I had some really stupid look on my face then I found a line, damn. I went in a few hundred feet and checked it out. the line was really discolored and sand had covered it up in some spots. I looked around and spent about ten minutes going in, it downed on me oh yeah I have buddies up topside, I turned my dive and exited, right by the begining of the line I found a shovel. well thank doesn't go there, so I come up and squeez threw the entrance. do a safety stop as I hit a max depth of 70ft and cruise threw the frigged river water and pop up and look for the guys, they where already getting geared up, H comes down and I hand him the shovel and tell him it was alittle tight. we then went for a really cool dive and I look forward to going back. if any of you made it this fare and know of this shovel and there where some line arrows with MB written on them I would like to know what cave we dove.
