Jump reel at Peacock Springs State Park (PSSP) to be removed

[Mark Vlahos]

I am familiar with this reel at the end of the Peanut line. This reel has been in place for over 6 months.

No. I can personally confirm that at least on June 4th there was no reel in place at the end of the Peanut line. I placed a spool at this jump on the 4th in the morning, and removed it a few hours later.

The last two posts pose an interesting matter of perspective.

Let's say diver A dives every Wednesday morning, sets up a circuit and then completes it and pulls his reel every Thursday morning. Dive B gets up later in the morning and then does two dives every Wednesday - and then one days spends Thursday complaining that there has been a reel left in place for the last several weeks/months. It's a extreme example but it illustrates how seeing the same thing on wide spread occasions could lead someone to suspect it had been there the whole time in between. It is just a matter of timing and perspective, so looking for growth, silt, etc names etc may be a good idea.

I think a week is more than enough time and leaving a post that it will be pulled is a good idea.

Or it means talking to a variety of people (via the CDF, for instance, but not necessarily) would solve that problem!

NO WAY. You should know better, living so close to Soddom on the Potamac where it is far better to speculate, jump to false assumptions and then point fingers than it is to communicate. Communication is ickky and probably against policy.

A blue DiveRite jump reel was in place at the end of the Peanut line on May 31st. This reel did not look like it had been there for too long, there was observable, but not heavy sediment on it at that time. It was gone just 4 days later.

If it's the one I remember seeing I think the owner is John Orloski (sp?)

Maybe it's a different reel...

When I was in class with John, I know we put in a jump from Olsen to the cross over tunnel, and it was there for a few days. I know its a different spot, but obviously this is something John does.

I have left jumps in over night, but never any longer than that.

Why not "tag" a questionable line with a cookie, kind of like the stickers that get put on cars when they sit on the highway too long, as a warning before the car, or in the case, reel, gets removed.
