Little River

[jdsffa]

Has anyone been by little river lately? Just wandering if it was springing again yet?

[FW]

It pretty well has to be. The river, at Branford, is down about 5-6 feet, since peak. My guess is the landing in the stairs is above water now. There will be a positive outflow, and possibly a boil showing. I suspect the vis will be about 1-2 feet.

It would be nice if someone went by to look :-)

You know that if I had the time, I owuld run right down and take a look at it and post all what i saw. Since I wont be able to get away so easy, somone else will have to do that for me.

i checked it last sunday. positive flow with slight boil. still all river water.

[DogDiver]

I took a look at it an hour ago. Because it is very windy today, I couldn't see if it was flowing or not. I think I could make out some outflow though. Water is very!!!!!!tannic. I'll check on it again on Monday.

Was there Saturday (4/5) afternoon. Dark water still covering the walkway but you can see the boil.

[DogDiver]

Only 6 inches of water on the bottom stair landing. You could visably see the spring basin from the steps. Flow is to the suwannee from the run. Water is clear but tannic. Could be divable, I have a bad cold and couldn't make a recon dive...Ken

Was the gate open? If it is, it might be worth a peek.

Dove LR this morning. Water is waist deep at the concrete, 21ft. at the steel rod. Vis in
the basin and the cave about 20ft. I seemed to get worse further in. (I turned at the first
super-sized arrow) The line was very slack and WAY under the ledge between the sign
and the chimney so I fixed that the best I could, and removed any crap that was on it.
There is positive flow, but not much for LR. Sorry I didn't bring a garbage bag to clean up all
the beer cans and bottles (I guess no one drinks soda around there)

Jean you'll love this dive if you like silt, sticks, and the color brown.
It's very silty of course, so everyone be careful. You can see light from
the sign if you dim your light. Hopefully It will be better this weekend.

Chris,
This is awesome news! Since you were kind enough to update us with the good news, I'll try not to hate you for getting to dive during the week :yawinkle:

[Corbett]

A late thanks to DogDiver for letting us know the park was open.

Ya, It's nice to be able to cave dive during the week sometimes, but today I gotta
go to work at Alexander Springs with the bikini models. I wish I could peek into that cave
without getting my mask swept off.

[Corbett]

Hit LR again today with 2 buddies, flow is WAY up since Thursday, viz is still 20ft. up
to the Florida room where we turned. We just about filled our 30gal. trash bag with cans
and bottles on the way out. Our penetration winner was a Lipton ice tea can near the
short-cut jump in the merry-go-round.....

[Line Squirrel]

There are cave divers out there that can't seem to dispose of their catheter wrappers, let alone the actual catheter properly.

THANK YOU for taking the time to pickup trash!

.....:clapper
:clapper .....:clapper Ok, that was my really REALLY bad attempt at a wave, the software will only allow 3 emotioncons.

Thanks for the clean up. As this is my "back yard" spring, it means alot to me...Ken
