Manatee: 9/16/08

I have heard numbers from 700' to 900', whats your take on the distance? And if I understand you correctly its not marked at all but you will see it get cloudy, its on the right wall if heading upstream and line will be on your left?

do you know what the distance is from sewer to bypass jump?

thanks,
ant

The Milk Tunnel is just upstream of the 800' marker...

The Sewer Tunnel is a jump from the Chakley's Bypass. If you get on that line the jump is to the right about 100' in the right....

Chalkey’s Bypass
- 200’ downstream Friedman on left wall
- Line lied off to a rock on the right wall of the tunnel heading upstream
- Becomes low bedding plane after 100-150’
- Connects to Sewer tunnel & Friedman bypass


Sewer Tunnel
- fragile line
- 100 -150’ upstream of Chalkey’s Bypass (After sharp left turn)
- Double line arrow, jump is vertical fracture on right
- 6 - 20’ jump between Chalkey’s Bypass & Sewer Tunnel

Is this correct? Also where does the Friedman Bypass interest the chalkey bypass?

thanks,

Yep...and they are the same (Freidman's Bypass IS Chalkley's Bypass). Chalkley's Bypass is named for Tex Chalkley

Mike Poucher just released a new map of Manatee...It is a great resource. he has it for sale on his site - http://www.cavesurvey.com/Online%20store.htm

The line is on the left, up high under an overhang.

What Walter said... You can also get the map from the CDS and NACD.
