    Default New things at Peacock Springs

    Yesterday, the Suwannee county Sheriff provided some inmate assistance to help Tom Brown and his park staff install many new picnic tables and those nice tank benches.

    We didn't get to use them since the concrete was still wet, but they sure look nice. Thank You!

    The VIS was near perfect at Orange and PI. We swam over and out at P2, and found it full of fish.

    So that is what all that lumber was stacked up for. Very nice job of getting it put up, thank them for us all.

    Default Tank benches, picnic tables & car stops

    As TJ stated we have made a lot of new changes at PSSP.
    Mike & Beverly Heathcott have been living at the volunteer camp site at PSSP for a few weeks. They have built the 20 tank benches the inmate crew came to the park under the guidence of Ranger Jackie Sheffield and cemented all the tank benches in place placed the picnic tables and car stops. The reason for the car stops is to organize the parking, you can park 25 cars at Peacock One now, it you park the center of your vehicle on the center of a car stop you'll be in your proper place, then back up so your car is over top of the car stop and you will not have to worry about stepping over it, it'll be under you car and you'll be within reach of a tank bench or a picnic table. We have had such a great response to the park this weekend we want to thank everyone who has supported the park and the CSO Committee whether you purchased a shirt, sponsored a kiosk
    or adopted-a-cave section this is where the money went. The biggest pleasure I have gotten from working with the CSO and being a DEP OPS employee is the fact all our park improvements and the whole trail cost for the walking trail is all coming from the people who use the park-you the cave divers and instructors, we have not had to seek any funding from outside sources and again we thank you for all your support.

    Your guys are awesome! It's always a pleasure to go to Peacock Springs. Not only for the caves, and the facilities, the staff is awesome. I would'nt change a thing.

    Last weekend was a great test, heaps of people, alot of cars, but it seemed like there was no problem finding a spot (well apart from a quiet place to deco )
    Well done, I sure do appreciate the efforts that were put in.
