Peacock Springs Re-opens

Word has it that Peacock Springs re-opened yesterday, since closing due to flooding from rising Suwannee River on 10 July. Vis has been reported at 30ft, better upstream of Olsen, and flow is up, with even a boil at Peacock 1.

See graphs below to note that Peacock was closed to diving at river height of ~25ft and re-opened just below 28 ft, likely able to keep back river at this higher level due to increased outflow from the cave. We’ve had a LOT of rain this summer.
