Joe and Mary's Sinks, Lost 40

[Lanes]

Anyone have any information about current access issues? I dove them back in the day and was just wondering if they are still open access.

I've heard they're both closed (or sneak dives). If you hear otherwise, let me know. I'd love to dive Lost 40.

New gates were put up last year and they have been kept up unlike years past. There were also rezoning signs there for awhile, but I seriously doubt they will build anywhere near the sinks for a multitude of reasons, including the sinks themselves and the county wellfield along the powerline.

There are fresh tracks next to the sinks, so I imagine you could still get there from the back way, but I imagine law enforcement is watching the area, as well as Nursery across the street where there is a big threatening sign.

Access was closed due to ORV damage. If you know the owner of the house by Lost 40 (50) you can gain access that way.

I have tried many times to find nursey sink, but I still cant find it. Everytime I go to the area in search of it I leave feeling so defeated haha

I never really enjoyed any of those sinks...just my 2 cents but way better things to dive =)

It is a cool dive but still just a nerd hole.
