Question Cave Country condition check

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

South Ga doesn't effect the santa fe. It's big impact is on the suwanee

True.

However when the Suwanee backs up the Santa Fe backs up because it dumps into the Suwanee and this slows down the water going into the Suwanee because high water in the Suwanee acts like a dam. It is a cascading effect.

Anyone know the conditions at Jug? Thinking of heading up there tomorrow.

 

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

Jug is probably just fine.

Chances of Jug blowing will be very small

Ginnie was a couple of feet lower, still green throughout the cave, but the flow has increased a little.

I’ve only seen Ginnie blow once in the last 19 years. That was after Tropical Storm Debbie that stalled right over us and dumped 33 inches of rain in 3 days. The water was half way up the wall on the bath houses.

Weren't they closed for like 6 weeks last summer because the water was up to the Ginnie bathrooms?

Yes. I can remember twice in 10 years. And maybe a third but I’m not 100% confident in that
