    Don't forget the skeleton in the Crypt. Somebody thought it was really cool leaving it too.

    Shouldn't this junk be removed, like we remove the trash in the entrance of the springs?

    You know, some of you guys will swallow a elephant and choke on a gnat.

    I have been around long enough to remember having to take chains, a jack, and a chain saw to get in and out of Jenny and Peacock. I used to have to swim across the river to get to Morgan. Had to have ropes to get in and out of Alachua. Yet, you go out in the middle of, what was pristine Florida woods build pavilions, steps, ramps,roads, composting toilets,restrooms, boardwalks, tank racks, and the entire festival of the inbred at Ginnie, and none of you squawk a bit about it. But you want to complain about a 6" long Godzilla doll.

    You guys are nuts.

    I agree, but before the decks, and board walks, there was erosion. Before the composting toilets, and restrooms, there were wads of TP out through the woods. There were plenty of locals at all the springs, even before SCUBA was invented. I can do without the picnik tables and tank benches though, there aren't any of those things where I dive the most

    I would like to encourage glory markers. It's much cheaper for me than having to actually buy arrows.

    I don't mind an occasional Gorilla or whatever. But the "cute" wears off real quickly and I'd rather just see the cave.

    I see arrows all the time, everywhere I go. Well... not *everywhere*.... But in FL I do. They just don't appeal to me. Maybe if Michael Angelo made especially artistic ones or something I would care. But they're just not big enough (with the slots for the line) to draw a decent squirrel on them, and frankly, seeing more doesn't sound like a big deal. They all are the same shape, about the same size. Come in a limited variety of colors. And they have people's initials on them. I can come to the CDF and see peoples' usernames and a picture. More interesting to me.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    The maps would still be good. Last time I was by there, there were plenty of bats
