Cave country
How is cave sountry down there. Im up here in georgia and was planning on coming down there next weekend. Was wondering how the caves were looking (madison blue,peacock,ginnie, that area) and would it be worth the trip????? Thanks

There is no limit. We'll always find a way to go deeper and deeper. That's been the pattern all along.

I was down there last weekend and Ginnie and Peacock were both very good. Flow at Ginnie was down a little but still pretty strong with viz a little milky here and there but 60-80 at least most everywhere. Peacock was good, with the peanut side being clearer but both sides were very doable. The mosquitoes at peacock however are unending. We were beset by nearly 7,000,000,000,000,000 of them everytime we moved.
Can't speak for Madison as it opened back up just as we had to head home.
Hope this helps.

The real question is - over what area were these 7,000,000,000,000 mosquitos dispersed?
Over all of PSSP? Or in the one cubic meter of airspace immediately surrounding your head?

That number was all located between the top and bottom of my hood. From looking at my face you would think I was a 17 yr old pimple head.

You're right, John. I've told Bil a million, billion, trillion, zillion times not to exaggerate.
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
Well I do not have much to compare it too since I was just out here doing Basic, but Devils and Peacock have been great all week.
I think that may be an underestimate of the Mosquitoes out at Peacock, they definitely loved me.

Those ThermaCELL's really work pretty well. Takes a few minutes to get the chemical pad heated up but I'm sold on them.
Where can such a machine be got?
Mike
Probably most any outdoor store anymore. They used to be hard to find. I had to mail order for mine, but I see them at Wally World now.
If you buy one, there are two types. The basic and the deluxe. The basic one you need to screw in the butane cartridge and use a lighter to fire it up each time, unscrew to shut it down. The deluxe one comes in a fancier plastic housing and has an igniter built in.
Either way, if you buy one, get a box or two of the replacement pads/cartridges at the same time.
