The boulder was moved restoring Challenge. Go to the NFSA Facebook page for pictures and story. Big thank you to Jim Wyatt,Jerry Murphy,Steve Boyer,Tom McMillan,Rich Courtney,Pete McCumber and Kelly Jessop. Nothing like this has ever been attempted,but the plan worked smoothly.
The selfish me says, well done, good job! I look forward to doing this traverse in the future, tyvm!
Hi, what does NFSA stand for?
I can't find it on FB using the abbreviation.
(NFSA) North Florida Springs Alliance.

I am with Shocky here, I am not about to have a Facebook account :roll:
I guess we will just have to wait for the newsletter
Helluva job guys. Thanks from all of us!
Great job to all those involved and thanks to each and everyone of you!
Great job!! Glad they were able to move it without destroying the surrounding natural area.
Cheers and congratulations to Jim Wyatt,Jerry Murphy,Steve Boyer,Tom McMillan,Rich Courtney,Pete McCumber and Kelly Jessop forreopening the Grand Traverse!
Congrats!
Thanks Kelly and as usual, a great job.Quote:

I will put some of the images on the website today, tonight or tomorrow.
Getting a Facebook page is easy & fast. I am curious why Forrest and Shocky are so resistant to having a Facebook page? Forrest, you have spent more time complaining about not seeing the images than the time it would have taken to sign up for a Facebook page and see all the images. :smt102
cause then you get 5000 requests for friends and farmtown and whatever.;
Because Facebook is the devil Jim! Very annoying and not worth the trouble for a few uses. If you are not careful when setting it up it will go through all your contacts, you get a million annoying messages, blah blah blah.Quote:

That, and FB (and G+) tends to have a more "cavalier" attitude about your data privacy than some of the other social media sites. They'll sell/share it with anyone.Quote:

Point being, not everyone does FB. It should never be used "exclusively."
And BTW, congrats on clearing the boulder!
Thanks to all the crew for moving the boulder!
I look forward to seeing the account in the NFSA newletter.
Another non-Facebooker,

Great job guys, when are y'all coming to fix the travesty at Morrison Spring? Sign me up for that one!;)

I'd be happy to help out with keeping the NFSA website updated. I'm on my PC often enough as it is, what's a little more? I'm on Facebook, but I understand the resistance to its use. It is definitely the DEBBIL!!!
NFSA Powers-That-Be, shout if you want to put me to work ;)
Great job on the rock :) and the harder job of working with all the necessary officials to get this done!
" I am curious why Forrest and Shocky are so resistant to having a Facebook page?"
One word Jim: Malware ! I am also siding with Forrest & Shocky...I am highly suspect of the hackers & pirates on Facebook & do not trust it ! Twitter on the other hand is a social media i would try without worry as it seems to have more control over the content being transmitted via it's links.
So that's my take on Facebook.
I would love to see a writeup on the CDS forum about how the boulder was removed. Sounds intriguing.
Jack
I am not opposed to NFSA having a Facebook page, but it should be a public page, and not require a Facebook account to access. If you do mention it, please put a link to it, not "NFSA Facebook page", because that doesn't tell people how to find it.
Me too. Might make a good UWS article as well.Quote:

Wow! Volunteers go out and fix a problem so everyone can enjoy a great cave. People are gripping they can't see a pic, or it's not being posted fast enough or in the wrong place. Should be nothing but thanks for these guys.
I heard get the chain out from under the boulder was harder than moving the rock. Thanks guys for everything you did yesterday to open up the cave!!!!!!!!
You are right Kevin. Where their was a concern that the one boulder pitched 120degrees forward would roll down the upstream breakdown,and cause a silt out,everything fell right into place with an uneventful twitch of the chain. The boulder did land on the chain,and we had to completely unrig,and re-rig at another angle to pull the chain out.Quote:

For $1.25 a month you can have all the benefits. We are able to do many of the things we do because of the membership,and the more members the bigger voice we have.
My guess would be that none of the divers involved had any deco on this dive, nor were they on rebreathers. But they WERE diving in a cave.Quote:

At least there is enough interest in what these folks were able to accomplish to want more details!Quote:

We went and looked at Challenge today and it was just beautiful and the rock-rock was/were just laying quietly on the bottom.

It is too late Kelly, you let the cat out of the bag....Some over narcked long time cave hunter will scoop you now. :) It ain't me, but your find
sounds intriguing. I had one of our beloved, long timers scoop me once....then he would brag about his cave ! No, I do not talk to him; I avoid him if I can ! ~:)
I can't just say no. I am a first born, we just can't do that :(Quote:
