Morrison springs report

[kalik]

Just in case there was any doubt, we went to Morrison springs today to check the condition. It was very blown out and the river is up to the deck and picnic tables. Pics to follow.

Well - you jump in and the river water is very very fresh to say the least. The you luck out or use pure skill to find the hole and the warm water coming from it is pure heaven. Then you do your dive and be very careful not to go into deco because you have to go back through the frigid river water to get back out. All the while in the hold thinking that I am warm and toasty and I have to go up sometime. Brrrr!

If the hydrostatic pressure hasn't overcome the spring flow and caused it to siphon. There would be no ambient light, so even trying it wouldn't be a good idea unless cave certified.

Thanks for the pics Kalik. I've never seen it when it was flooded. I hope it will be dive able for Springfest!

Hang it up until this little thing his 5-6'(while the riverwater is still colder than the outflowing springwater).
