FWIW: 4C's was closed tonight but Sally's has a pretty darn good dinner at a reasonable price. I had the grouper. They were nice people too.

Thanks for all of the great advise. It helped make a great trip.
Things learned:
1: Ponce De Leon is is a sleepy little town with nothing to do other than eat and dive.
2: Ponce De Leon Motor Lodge is reasonably priced, clean, and has a helpful staff.
3: Consider Sally's for dinner as well as breakfast. It's great.
4: 4C's BBQ is closed on Sun and Mon but is awesome when they are open.
5: Vortex is well worth diving. It's not just a training site. (great cavern) Depending on who is filling tanks, you can get a semi-cave fill on LP 95 doubles.
6: Morrison has a outflow that rivals or exceeds the Devils ear or eye. Entering the cavern is not for a novice. Also, the cavern is a short swim from the dock but the dock is a HELL of a long walk from the parking lot with doubles on your back. (note to self, get a 2 wheel dolly)
Thanks guys/gals, you helped make for a great trip.

Cypress had more out flow than Morrison then last time I was there. Glad you had a good time. Vortex needs dredging to me. Its gets real small quick. I stopped by 4C on Saturday night and got some loaded fries.

Cypress has roughly 3x the flow Morrison does

I like a challenge but I don't like canoeing, especially with a set of double 95's.

Seriously? Two sets of cave gear, deco bottles, and a buddy is usually par for course around here while canoeing
