On saturday, I assisted with an OW class at Vortex Springs. Luckily the crowds havnt moved in yet, so there were only 10 or so other classes going on. Visibility was usual at 10-20ft or so, bluish water, with the cavern being much clearer. Being an assistant I spent quite a lot of time in the water, but all the students did well, and we had a fun time.

On the way home, I stopped by Morrison, which was not looking so good, although a bit better. Water level was down, and the water was sort of clear near shore, although brownish over the spring. However, the river has gone back up since, so Morrison is blown again.

Thanks for the report, I'll probably be at Morrison this Saturday flooded or not :) Hopefully, not, but river levels aren't too promising!
