PSSP update #4

[Janet]

There are boils on all the sinks, Challenge is the first one to show signs of clearing but it looked pretty dark still this morning, I'll look again when the sun is overhead. Seven steps out at Orange and 10 dry at P1. The beaver was building a dam where the old gator hole was by the P1 steps but the water level is below that already, so the dam isn't helping much. The water was over the top of the river guage (roughly 7 feet) on the 6th and it is down to 3.13 today, water started coming in when the Luravile guage was near 27 feet and that guage is almost back down to 27 feet, we may not have a run to the Suwannee before you guys get back here. Without sun it looked like maybe 2 1/2 feet of viz at P1 today.
Maybe next week we'll have better news-for you nature lovers I saw two great horned owls this morning, one had a squirrel in it's talons and I saw the beaver-got a picture of the owl, and the water is still so shiny it reflects like a mirror still.
Safe diving,
Janet

That's awesome news, Janet, thanks! I'd love to see the pictures you took of the owl.

Thank's for the update! At this rate it should be good to go in May.

Janet, bet it would be a relative of the one we found a few years back there up in the tree. Atleast we know that they are well fed with a squirle in its talons.

It turns out the owl was a barred owl, didn't find that out until I downloaded it to my computer, I'll post one of the hawk I took a few months ago.
