Question Cave Country condition check

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

How is Ginnie looking?

Its OK. The river is dropping now.

That is good. I was worried I might have to dive in salt water.

Your backup plan can be hanging out w/my CCR cave class and helping to torment my students.

Need someone to silt the place up for you? If so I am free.

I'm supposed to be heading down next weekend for some dives with a friend. Am I better off heading over to Mariana at this point, or are there similar problems over there right now?

 

[Lorenzoid]

Still holding out hope for next weekend.

We'll be diving Sat, Sun, Monday, but have no real plans on what we're going to do. If you need extra eyes for your class we'd be happy to hide in the background.

Its OK. The river is dropping now.

The problem is more rain is coming and the water from Georgia hasn't necessarily made it's way down yet. It's very good it's dropping, Means Ginnie should hold, but we're not out of danger 100%

My wife corrected me in my above statement. South Ga doesn't effect the santa fe. It's big impact is on the suwanee.
That being said, she's saying there's a still real likelihood of Ginnie going under since things are going to start rising again with the new rain and the fact that Girchrist Blue is blown.
She knows better than me since her job is the springs. Hopefully she's wrong

 

[Manatee Diver]

Hopefully she's wrong

Women are never wrong, at least that is what they tell me.

The Mill Pond caves can be affected by local runoff that can make JB milky but they are not affected by river rise like the ones in Cave Country. If you head down next weekend you'll essentially be restricted to Ginnie which I heard was a zoo this morning

Ginnie is emerald green but high visibility, as of yesterday. I'll be there again today.
