    Thumbs up Roubidoux Springs exploration update for 9/29/12

    I posted this in the Ozark/Midwest section, but thought some of you who aren't in that forum might be interested in this:

    The OCDA conducted another push dive in Roubidoux Spring on 9/29/12. We had another successful day and added 700' of new line to the system. The conduit out there is running between 150' and 175' in depth and its size is comparable to the upper tunnel just past the sign, but with more silt and breakdown.

    The next project will most likely be to do the formal survey of the new line. I would anticipate this will put the EOL around 7000' - 7200'.

    Conditions are holding and we plan to continue exploration until mother nature makes us stop. Finally after 10 yrs, we're making significant progress in this system.

    Stay tuned...
