...or the other possibility is the springs could be purchased by water bottling companies who close all access to the site.

EEK !!!!!!!!!!!
See , the State parks aren't so bad after all ...

The state has always said its plan was to purchase all the first and second magnitude springs. At least with this land being given to the DEP to manage, their mandate is conservation and recreation, so this at least allows us to retain access, unfortunately maybe not under the same terms we've gotten used to. This will probably be less of an adjustment for us than the locals who will lose a place to drink beer ,and have to pay to access the park. So, I guess that will make Telford a busy place.

For those of you that think we're nuts, there's nothing quite as peaceful as a solo scooter dive.

I absolutely agree 8)

Well, there was one dive in Anderson - about 800' back sidemount. None one had been there in a while and no-one was coming looking anytime soon, no back mounter would fit through the several restrictions. It felt as remote as the dark side of the moon. Completely alone and immensely relaxing.

(Solo of course.)

Or a nice long Galaxy dive.
