Little River Blown Out

[Line Squirrel]

Based on history, from when I started cave diving, I'd guess the middle of April.

With the Suwannee predicted to crest March 5th at the Branford station, I would say mid April is a good guess.

We have possible severe weather predicted for Tue/Wed. All depends on how much rain we get with this and how it tracks across GA & FL.

We followed the Temp line from the steps into the cavern. OH ya , I remember it well.
Looks like we might have to do that again.

Today the water is above the handrail shown still out of the water on the picture and it has started to cross the road leading into the park ao they probably will keep the gate locked tomorrow there. It is still siphoning............

Well HELL! That's what I get for complaining about the amount of stairs at little river!

Looks like my next primary tie off will be on the bumper of my truck

Safe diving all

I stopped by Little River about an hour ago and the gate is still open but the water was to deep to drive the small truck through. We have 2 steps on the lower level still dry at Orange Grove and the water is still flowing from Cisteen to Orange Grove. At P1 there are 4 dry steps I believe, the river gauge was at 1 ft. Friday and is at 6.70 now and it only goes up to 6.8, a lot of debris is right in front of the steps. We have turtles, lots of noisy frogs and some fish jumping-no gators yet. I'll go to Bonnet soon and get a picture. It is starting into the woods towards the parking lot at P1 but still is now under the walkway.

Little river gate is locked, water is over the road behind the gate. I just came from there on my way back from diving Ginnie.

And no Explosive Bolts to blow the gate open. Shame
