I have the same question. Have an approved request for Emerald Sat and Clear Cut Sun, but just heard this morning that it's blown. Waiting on confirmation of conditions.

Clearcut might look gross on the surface but be clear underneath. The downstream sinks (promise, cream, etc) are probably better to look at.

My State Park pass died, so I'm not gonna ride out there after all.

I'll drive out there and take a look at Cheryl and Split Sinks... They'll be a good indication. Emerald will be the same as ClearCut as far as the surface not really telling the whole story.

any chance for a peek at river sinks or innisfree or something? something after leon comes back into one big trunk would be super helpful :)

Probably not, my FL state park pass is expired, so Upper River is a no go. I still don't have the spaceship house guy's number to go check out Innisfreeish.

Cheryl and Split Sinks are still clear, I would consider that a good indicator for Emerald and atleast Clearcut side of the downstream split.

I expected tannic water, honestly, but its emerald blue green, whipe away the duckweed from Cheryl and you see the ledge and the breakdown below(along with fallen leaves, limbs, ect).

Upstream is still clear, but downstream is awful in both directions. I imagine some of that dark water (3-5ft vis) is going to make its way down to Clearcut in a couple days if it hasn't already.
