Luraville area springs

OK, after making my morning rounds...water levels are still dropping about 5" per day my best guess???
Telford, black water, no boil but I'm going to guess it won't be long before it starts pumping, maybe another 3-4 days?? Just a WAG on my part. But it won't be diveable for sometime.
Peacock I, the parking lot is dry but most of the boardwalk is still underwater, I cannot get to the spring head w/o waiders.
OG, the duckweed seems to be moving away from the vent although no visible boil yet. The sitting portion of the bench on the lower landing is just barely underwater.
I managed to get over to Cow as well this morning... pretty ugly still, looks like a big dirty pond, can't even really tell where the vent is. The vegitation is growing back around the trail nicely and a turkey roosting in a tree was kinda cool.
I'll look at LR tomorrow on my way to Ginnie.

Thanks for the update Mike. See if you can get all that dirty water out of there before the conference in November. 8) Kevin Eckelkamp from a long ways away!

I did wade to Peacock One this morning, the water is less than ankle deep on the walkway now, I again want to thank everyone who worked on the walkway, otherwise the water would have been 1 to 2 feet to walk throught today. The great news is there is a very large boil at P 1, the top step has uncovered and with the fog & haze I could still see 6 steps down and the water looks clean, it still smells in the woods though. I went to Telford also, UGLY the sinks are UGLY looking, sorry but it's UGLY.
Then there are the bags of litter in the woods, hanging out of the trees.
The trash container is empty & all the trash is picked up there, maybe we divers should contribute money to the NACD for the trash service they pay to go into Telford on a regular schedule, I couldn't imagine what it would look like without this service. Just my 2 cents worth.

OK, as promised, I went to Little River on the way back from Ginnie. Ginnie was great!! The water is still pretty high but the wooden decks and about 3 steps are out of the water and the system is pumping clean water!! HAPPY DAYS!! I wish the news was as good for LR. The parking lot is still underwater...I couldn't believe it

No chance that could equate to less walking and more line laying? Can't blame a guy for hoping Thanks for the update Mike.

LOL, I don't think so, the gate is locked. Pictures if you want, email me for them.

Happy to do it everybody, just wish it was better news. Slim buddy, we will see you and Bill at Christmas. We should have some very VERY good diving when you get down here.

How were the mosquitos? Two weeks ago they literally chased us back to the car at Peacock
