    Default Hurrricane / Tropical storm Fay?

    Just wondering, should i cancel my plans to dive in cave country this weekend (August 22 - 24)? Will Ginnie, Little River and Peacock close? What about conditions? Can I expect conditions to be effected by the heavy rains?

    I'm in the same boat. The weather looks pretty crumby. But, I'm still planning on cave diving.

    never know until you get there or hear about conditions. I can tell you Jackson blue in the Mill Pond will more than likely not flood out, same with Ginnie. The nest 12-24 hours will tell alot of what will happen.

    I'm keeping everything crossed.

    JB won't flood, but local rains can cause it to be pretty murky.

    Default Ginnie open?

    Just spoke with Ginnie Springs on the phone (5 pm thursday). They said they were closed today for camping, but open for cave diving. They said to call tomorrow morning to check for a status on camping and cave diving.

    I guess Fay is migh cause adverse conditions for cave diving. Dark, wet conditions do sound a bit challenging.

    All kiding aside, I think the concern is with the wind.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.
