The Great Travis Traverse

[FIXXERVI6]

Was that you set up on the picnic table by platform 3, about 6:00 on Saturday evening? If so, I was with the group of scouts setting up to do an underwater pumpkin carving around that time... I'd have stopped by and said hello.

I think we were there at that time (might have been underwater at that time) we were on the table by the 3rd set of stairs, there was two of us and I had a white set of doubles, we were both diving dry, I do remember a pumkin carving group showing up a few yards away from us, took me a bit to figure out what was going on with the group until I saw the pumpkins.

I was eyeballin around to the other groups to see if anyone was starin us down wondering if we were who we were as I don't know what anyone "looks" like I've ran into some people on the board by just doing the (hey that dude keeps looking over here, I wonder if thats so and so)

I will be back out there Saturday with the same buddy, this time its just a planned to be an orientation dive as this buddy has never been there, so that NEXT time when we plan on laying line there is no question of where we need to be, also by then our 3rd diver should be up and running again.

I'll be there all morning, and possibly again in the evening as well. I'll look for ya!

I'll be back up and layin miles Friday tho.

Who's Miles? :11:

So are you fixing the water pump yourself?

 

[FIXXERVI6]

hmm, miles on the road, I don't know anyone named miles... I would have put it on myself but the truck was 20 miles away from the tools and 20 miles away from the part and I needed it quick so I'm donating my left arm in money to the cause, dealership had it in stock and had a 24 hour shop so I said just do it.

Then they wanted to change a bunch of other stuff I said no thanks.

The pump is easy access, could pull it off without pulling the radiator.

 

[travisdude]

anything new on this?

 

[tlessard]

Viz is pretty much crap down deep right now...we'll probably pick it back up in July when the bottom end usually starts to clear up.

Myself and buddy were down there trying to find the line a month or two ago, we never did find it I'm sure we swam past it more than once, vis was just horrid so it would have been super easy to have been within arms reach and swim right by.

I probably wont' be back down again for at least another month and a half as I have other dive trips planned (oriskany) and have to also work around dive buddy schedules.
