Thread: Ginnie question

  1. #1

    Default Ginnie question

    Can someone please tell me the story behind the Energizer Bunny in Ginnie Springs? I love the area it is in but do not even know what it is called.

    If we can play guessing-game, the entry I'll throw in is that it might be a tribute to Bill Main. I've never met him but heard him referred to as the energizer bunny. The story behind it was a dive in ginnie if I recall correctly, and was something to the effect that when everyone got to the spot to drop scooters and start swimming, that's when they took a good look and realized he hadn't been using one, he just waited till they got everything tied off, and continued on swimming with them.

    Bill Main has two speeds, fast and faster, and if it is a syphon, it is light speed.

    It's towards the front of the cave, but not in fluffy bunny tunnel, correct?
