    Question Little River

    Has anyone been by little river lately? Just wandering if it was springing again yet?

    It pretty well has to be. The river, at Branford, is down about 5-6 feet, since peak. My guess is the landing in the stairs is above water now. There will be a positive outflow, and possibly a boil showing. I suspect the vis will be about 1-2 feet.

    It would be nice if someone went by to look

    I took a look at it an hour ago. Because it is very windy today, I couldn't see if it was flowing or not. I think I could make out some outflow though. Water is very!!!!!!tannic. I'll check on it again on Monday.

    Only 6 inches of water on the bottom stair landing. You could visably see the spring basin from the steps. Flow is to the suwannee from the run. Water is clear but tannic. Could be divable, I have a bad cold and couldn't make a recon dive...Ken

    Was the gate open? If it is, it might be worth a peek.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.
