Change to Gold Line at Madison Blue Springs

[harleydiver]

Please be aware, we are replacing & in some cases re-routing the Gold Line at Madison Blue Springs. This Project started today 4/27/2007 under State Permit.

The Gold line has been extended to the Stop Sign. There is a short section at the sign specificly for primary tie-offs. Instructors, please take your students to the Stop sign, not the bottom of the well.

We are attempting to eliminate all line traps and overhead line placements. Lines may stretch over the next few weeks, and we will be checking up on the placements, but if you see any problems, please PM me with specific's, or constructive comments.

We got just past the Martz jump today, and will be doing more next week.
When we finish we will mark the new line with arrows every 100'.

A special thanks to the NACD for their donation of the Gold Line.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be starting my Madison dives in June. Hopefully, you guys will be all done by then.

Hey , thanks for the update !!!
Awww , I used to enjoy using that little metal triangle as a nice place to do a line placement.
But actually , it will be nice to have the gold line out that far IMHO.

I've had a few times of having to maneuver a little to lay my line under a few others. And it gives you a few other options for primary tie-offs.

Thankies !!!

P.S. I assume the line "markings" will stay the same???
Guess I won't know till I take a peek myself.

Yes, for now we are just moving the old markers to the new line. When we are done, we will put in all new arrows, 1 every 100' & new jump arrows as well.
