    I heard that the river is intruding some. Hard to totally wipe Ginnie out.

    We were there Saturday. The river intrusion made it a little dark on the surface at the Ear entrance, but once you started into the opening it was clear.

    Tons of people!

    Default Flow

    The flow seemed "typical", maybe slightly higher. Bugs are pretty bad, bring repellent.

    Ginnie conditions?

    Expensive, crowded, massive redneck intrusion, no longer a pristine Florida site, more of a cheap tourist trap.

    Actually we had the cave to ourselves yesterday, although there were a lot of bikini-clad women jumping off the steps.......

    Safe diving,
