Madison Today

Thanks so much for posting the photos.
In Valdosta, Ga the Withlacoochee River is out of its banks.
I figured Madison was blown.
Thanks for the update, appreciated,

Yes, I put my thumb up as we crossed the bridge and looked at the river...<G> We went into the park just to see how bad and then take pic's..

Slim, there was NO VIZ, I doubt you copuld have made The "tempered glass" script on your mask....
But my ammo stash is much better now....

Dive safe,

Celia

Whats wrong with it? I mean unless you go in it could be clearer. Come on Ceila, need to come on up here one day and dive our caves and you might think that was not to bad. What kind of vis did you have loking into the water?

So you have to look hard for the entrance. You wont know unless you go.

If the river had come up slowly, I might agree, but I suspect the system is syphoning now, and going in would be incredibly dangerous. Not really an issue, since the park doesn't allow diving when it is like that.

When you find beer cans by the courtyard you know it had been syphoning pretty bad...sooooo, no. Mama did not raise dumb kids....only ugly ones....bad way to speak of my siblings too....

Dive safe,

Sorry your dive was spoiled, the Panhandle crowd had a nice couple dives at Jackson...and the electronic lock only befuddled me for a few seconds (hint-the combo pad is on the FAR left and it is the LEFT gate arm that pivots outta the way )

I guess I will take Madison off my "Christmas list".

I just looked at the river level graph, and it seems the Withlacoochee is just about at crest, so barring any more big rain events, the rest of N Fl should be OK.

EDIT: I hear that Little River and Telford have reversed, so sctatch the above statement :-(

The aquifer is still so low, that it can't handle the river going up any at all.

Little River and Telford are flooded. Peacock and Cow are fine, as well as everything along the Sante Fe, like Ginnie.

When you say everything along the Santa Fe, like Ginnie, what else is along the Santa Fe? as a backmount sites?

Thanks
