    Default Little River

    The water at Little River is up on the rocks beyond the retaining wall. There's a fisherman on the first landing of the stairs, and a boat of fishermen over the entrance to the cave. There is no discernible water movement, outflow or inflow, and no debris on the surface. The water is very dark. Surprisingly, the parking lot is empty! Pictures later, the signal here ain't so great for uploading...

    About 6 inches of viz. Inside the cavern, the silt poofies appeared to be heading slowly into the cave, instead of out. Just finding the cavern was FUN! All semblance of light from the surface disappears at about 3 ft.

    Agreed, it sure seems to be "leaning" in that direction. Maybe it'll kick up soon and start spitting us out again...woo hooo!

    Wow, what a difference. That tree in the foreground sure has gotten to be a much darker green!

    Default I liked the before . . .

    I liked the before picture better. Nice contrast though. Thanks for the pictures. No locals swimming on the holiday?

    Saturday when I took the picture, there were only fishermen, no swimmers. After our attempted dive, there were a couple of kids swimming. It was really scary hearing them talk. One wasn't a strong swimmer and, had she disappeared beneath the surface, recovering her in a timely manner would have been impossible. That was early in the day though. I went back by on Sunday afternoon and there were lots of swimmers. The water was at the same level, only much darker looking (was "strong tea" colored Saturday, more like British coffee on Sunday).
