Devil's 7/31/12

Flow up to how it was before TS Debby flood or slightly stronger. Water level 1-2 feet deeper than before flood.

Vis is down from normal, no blue tinge to water. Rather green to tan of dilute tannic water. 40-50' of vis in following areas: Mainline to 1800', Eye, Hill 400/Hillier, Double Lines area. 30' of vis: Big Room, Bone Line, first half of Double Domes. 2-4' of vis and strong/warm tannic: Double Domes (tannic water in ceiling of both Domes, tannic water at level of the line in last dome). No water movement here, your bubbles will mix it at bit and degrade vis.

Eye is clear, temp mainline extension in place in Eye. Curtain is down. Ear is covered with tannic water. 2' vis above Ear down to 8' depth, then 30' of vis and little/no ambient light below that.

Don't notice the reduced vis too much while swimming and in smaller passages (other than it makes your HID/LED look the color of an older Halogen). Scootering here is more difficult than normal with current vis.

Removed a lot of beer cans from bottom of Ear/Devil's Porch area... there may be more there.
