Mdax, I may have some old GPS coordinates from a dive I did there with Steve Gamble. If I can get that old thing powered up, I will look for some local coordinates that show the exact location of several windows in the system.
We'd definitely appreciate the coordinates. It's a really fun dive.
However it is also a popular site for open water divers apparently...not sure what they like about clay targets at 20' depth but I sure hope they continue to stay out of the system as it's pretty unfriendly in there. I'd make some sort of stand for a sign but my physical handyman skills are so bad I can't nail boards together in a square. Much less make something that would last at that entrance. I'm not sure what it would take for something to stay there, probably a base on the order of 400 pounds I'm guessing.
Now that I've got my hands on some good fiberglass tape, a better compass and garmin 76csx the next map will be much more accurate. Ariane's line is a great tool for creating maps.
I need to get the stations squared away, clean out the old line and trash, take better measurements with tape and then get distances for the up/down/right/left...and then I'll get some video of the system...but on one of those dives I swear I'm going to try and noodle out a few catfish for dinner.
This is just too much fun.
We're working slowly as in some places it siphons a little harder than others.
