    Default Temporary Permanent Line in Eye...

    Due to the tannic water in the Ear and Devil's being the only game in town, we installed a temporary permanent line in the Eye today. It's an old school red DR primary with the name Meadows on it, starts at the Grim Reaper sign and runs down to the gold...

    Safe diving,

    Rich

    The line will be pulled when things return to normal (other caves reopen and river level drops).
    This is to prevent the crows nest hazards I the eye with 5+ teams going into the cave.

    other than this post is there something on the reel that states this is a "temporary permanent line"?

    I just wanted to know what temporary permanent lines look like and whether they are clearly marked as such. So standard procedure would be to place an arrow or cookie to mark that you are in the system?

    (I'll be taking a cave course in April and can ask my instructor then, but i just figured since I had the question I would ask)

    Thanks in advance,
    Garth McClune

    Yes Garth. There is a hard plastic slate attached at the top of the line that clearly states the intention of the line

    "Temporary Permanent". George Carlin would have a field day with that!

    Like "semi-boneless ham"; does it have a bone? Then it is a bone! There's no 'semi-bone'.

    Just like Military Intelligence - it's mutually exclusive! You CAN'T *DO* THAT!
