    Default Help locate missing sensor and hanging blocks at Peacock!!!

    We have been working with University of Florida grad students to conduct research at the parks,and this data is very valuable in helping the parks. We had placed a sensor and dissolution study,which were matchbox size of blocks held together by fishing line, on the Distance tunnel line. Has anybody seen these,or removed them?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,because not only has important information been lost for someone's dissertation,but this information gives insight into how caves are formed. Please PM me if you anything-thank you

    Is it possible the flood washed it away, or was it tied on too well for that?

    I remember seeing them back in February, but I'm sure they were not in the distance tunnel. At least not on the way to the t. Maybe some have been installed later but I remember seeing them on the line after the jump on the first right turn from challange to og which goes towards woodys room.

    Once people begin diving Peacock again, can ya'll keep an eye for these (as in let Kelly know where they are if you find them)? As Kelly mentioned, the data is a critical component of several university research projects concerning what happens in springs during reversals.

    I don't remember seeing them on two dives up the Distance Tunnel line in January either, but then we only made it to the 2nd T.

    Any chance of a picture, so people know what to look for? A size comparison would help too. Kelly mentioned "matchbox size", that might be really hard to notice.

    Are these the same as the ones installed in Madison last year? If so, they're hard to miss.

    The sensor is metallic color and the size and shape of a small back up light. They really are hard to miss. The dissolution study is a bunch of limestone tablets.
