    Default Lafayette Blue

    ...did a feet-dry drive-by this AM...

    Both Green and Snake appear dark with no discernable spring or siphon evident...

    As the Park was padlocked, I didn't investigate the Headspring...

    link to pics will follow...

    I've done a lot of diving in this system in the last few years,and I've found the systems is highly influenced by river levels (obviously) and rain due to the number of sink holes. Last time I went out there I saw was very tannic (more the usual),and minimal coriolis at the sinks. Following a flooding current can be fairly strong,but tannic/particilate blows out slowly. Watch the lines. I've worked hard to get the lines off the bottom because they get buried easily in the silt with flooding,and some of those can be T's that are buried.

    Kelly,

    What is the SWAG for conditions this coming Friday...?

    and is there currently a line from the headspring to Snake, and Snake to Green?
