Here is a copy of the email sent to the writer:
Bob Arndorfer,
The image used in the article “Danger in paradise” is not Blue Grotto in Williston. It is from the Devil’s Ear @ Ginnie Springs. The dark tannic color is from were the river water mixes with the clear spring water.
This is a very popular image.

So, ... having scrutinized the article, pondered the subject, and added up all the apples and oranges, it appears that it is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to fly a plane 3000 feet back into a cave in winter, overstreching a rubber band for guideline, to get a 100$ hamburger. Something is going to break.
(So bored at work ... I want to go diving)
Strange article... it guess the (rambling) point is that the outdoors can be dangerous in all kinds of ways.
:roll:
And if i can't at least i will rich my 'cave bottle'Quote:

Just because I'm paranoid... doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...
Not me, things are lively.....but I do have to wait at least 4 more hours before going cave diving :-DQuote:

Thank you Rich! *SIGH* ... I gather it will be around 250-some hours before I get back in the water ... 90 hours, if I'm really lucky. *BIIIG SIGH* At this stage, even deco sounds like lots of fun.Quote:

You guys missed the point. It isn't cave diving, flying or even the outdoors that is dangerous. It is Springtime!
:-)
Are us people from Georgia the most dangerous ones that come down there? :wink:

No John, it's the ones that leave their vans down here indefinitely ;-)Quote:
