    Default Springs Closed for Legit Reasons.

    All this talk of closed springs led me to thinking about the springs closing for non-political reasons. How does that normally go down? Some particular time of year? No warning? Weeks of rain? In some order? I hear Manatee is always last... is there one that is always first?

    Madison is always first :P Then Little River :P

    When the rivers flood basins and the springs back up, the springs get closed until they clear up and line commities go and check out conditions - to protect us from ourselves :P ??? LOL.

    It's a good thing committees don't dive river caves... many would never be "safe"...

    Actually, I'm the commitee - be sure to let me know about all the river caves you know about so I can make sure there's lines in them, and make sure they're in good order.

    Thanks,
    Management.

    Morgan has a lot of cave that doesn't have line

    I cant knot line fast enough

    just jump in and head down stream, EOL just stops and the cave just keeps going.
