    There's an NH in Ocala. I'd be glad to pick one up on my way up sometime, if it's the one that's chosen by the group footing the bill...and we're allowed to leave it at the park.

    Talking Jug

    We dove Jug hole yesterday. It was a beautiful dive as usual. We had a radio flyer and a hand truck, worked out ok. Definitively a long walk.

    Sure, on nice flat concrete. Just don't try to turn it.

    Good news, ISSP is getting a cart for the next diving season to use at the jug. Check the thread in the North Florida Springs Alliance CSO forum.

    Wayne and Jeff have done some off road mods to the Amigo's cart. It now sits higher, and we had 8 85's, plus misc gear in it on Monday and it made the trip. The only issue now is the steering. I think that is next on the modificatioin list. By the time it opens up in the fall we will have something done!

    Great. The last time we went to jug, we looked at Wayne's cart and it was obvious that it was sitting too close to the tire to be loaded with much more than a few tanks.

    Default Blue Hole Express

    About two years ago, Richard Lamb & I bought that wagon because we didn't want to carry our gear to the spring. We made a license plate for it entitled Blue Hole Express. We left it behind, as have many others left in-kind donations with Wayne at Amigos. That wagon has saved a few backs and I heard the Florida Chiropractors Association has filed a petition with the State of Florida to have it banned as they are losing money from cave divers no longer throwing their backs out carrying gear on that long walk. I bet the cost of the new modifications are more than the original $69.95 we originally spent on it.

    Thank you Wendell! We used it in March 2008 and really appreciated it!
