Ginnie flow?

Great time to swim to the Hinkel, just do you deco in the Eye. Ear is CHHILLLY!

Thanks for the info. I will hopefully head out late next week or over the weekend of Feb 6th. Hopefully the flow will still be low (the river high) in 12 days.

Watch the river graph. The flow can pick back up, with the river still high, if the river level is dropping.

How is the ballroom? will it go under?

Very doubtful. The spring run is a lot longer. It would take quite a bit of rise for the river to overcome the flow from there.

I don't think Ginnie, or Devil's Eye have ever totally flooded. I have had to walk (wade) to Devil's Eye from the road between the checkin/shop, and the Ginnie parking lot. Flow and viz were way down, but divable.

The issue with the Ballroom is, it won't be a "legal" cavern dive, if the tanic water gets over the entrance, and blocks off the sunlight. That hasn't happened in several years.

I heard the flow was kicking pretty strong at Ginnie. Has anyone been there within the last couple days? Any predictions for the weekend?

It looks like the river is already dropping, so the flow will be going back up.

Back in 'bout 1988, there was a huge flood at Ginnie. River water intruded into the Ear/Eye. The entire grounds around all the springs were completly flooded. you could not get near any of the springs.

Happened in March of 1998 also. Water was 1/2 way up the road on the hill. the bathroom was under water too.
