    Auto (in)correct?

    Sadly it may take weeks to reverse, and blow clear again.

    How long will it normally take to become clear again? I hope to dive there too in a couple of weeks.

    on the plus side... looks like the cave is flowing out now with the water temp back at 70 degree and discharge at ~80cfs. River has dropped slightly.

    but i would hold my breath of opening soon and any river spike will reverse it again.

    Would be curious to see pics of Martz and head spring now

    As a first generation Newfie, I quite respectfully say, the people in the great white north must have nothing better to do than watch our gauges ....

    Respectfully, Adam will chase you with a pitch fork for saying gauges
