Pictures of Peacock and Orange Grove. Also 2 of JUG

Got to visit Peacock today. Road to P1 is closed but the ranger was kind enough to let us through and take us back there. Entire Parking lot is under water at P1 and water at OG is just at the 4th step down.

Well she open for business. Drove by there but didn't go out back.

Thanks for the pics! Was Jug full of divers or swimmers or both?

We dove Jug today... we only saw one other dive team and they were getting out as we were getting in. Conditions are good and flow is crankin'

Lots of swimmers in the head. 4-5 in Jug. New year's Eve I'm sure has a lot to do with it. 90% looked like tourists.

Saw no dive teams at Jug suiting up or entering/exiting

More pics of Peacock taken today by Kenny Thurmon with permission/help from the ranger there.

Holly crap

Looks like the Suwannee is dropping about a foot a day. If we don't get too much new rain then hopefully it will be dive-able soon. Couple weeks?

I sampled Orange Grove during the 2009 flood. We had to drive into the park from the road in a boat. We drove over the fence and half of the Orange Grove cave map sign was underwater. We lined the boat up on the pavilion (also half underwater) and had to drop a weighted line a bunch of times to make sure we were actually over the sink.

It will take that long for the river to get down. Then more than that for the springs to clear out.
