Saturday at Little River

I've tried to get a hold of gold braid to carry for the occasional repair, but have been told the only way to get it is by ordering it in lots of 1000'.

I have a couple of thousand feet of Gold line pulled out of Devil's cave when we relined it this summer. The line is in pretty good shape and will work fine for patching. I keep it in my pick 'em up truck...so if you see me at the dive site, just ask.

I can also mail you a 100 feet or so....let me have your address.

Talking about LR my biggest concern for today is that as we heard from a park ranger - after it becomes a state park there will be certainly no scootering (not to mention a solo). So grab all you reels an SS-es now and catch the moment

Why no scooters?

There are other state parks which allow scooters and have done so for a long time with no issues.

What parks? Manatee is the only one i know. God bless them.

Not sure why. My guess is there were too much public concern about fragile cave environment. Thus we are getting what we were asking for. If we keep bitching here about cave damage the rule makers will respond with prohibitive policies. Always easier than try to understand what is exactly the damage and how it really affect the surface life. They won't go down there to evaluate it they just will read this forum and make mental marks...

Having people tote 5 stage bottles and claw their way to their destination is definitely going to have less impact that someone scootering.
