Fantastic Scott, I must have been typing when you posted that picture. Ken is my new best friend. How long did it take to find the hatch. Thank Ken for me.

About an hour and a half. The ponds about 15 to 20 feet deep. he didnt hace his tank so we free dove it. Ive got sinus issues w/ underwater pressure so I only went down once. then it was up to him. Remarkably it was right were we thought... just couldnt see 4 inches in front of your face. pitch black so it was found by feel.

Jim can you be sure to bring the generator as well please. Also, I saw in an old post, do we have oars?????? Bill and I were just discussing that we need one for the baot incase we have another situation like the last run.

Also, Bill, I think you still have Jims stereo if youd please bring that along Sunday.

Gracias amigos

And, Hugh had a brilliant yet obvious idea. lets plan on cutting a link inthe gate chain Sunday am. We will put a new lock from the chain to the county loc. that way they can open it as well as we can open it. Ill grab a lock. Infact, I may have one w/ a few keys. i will then call Susan Monday and discuss teh situation w/ her and tell her what I did and to please not remove our lock. We will assure her it will be secure at the end of each days run.

We do have some oars but they are pretty much useless. Don't know if you've seen them before or not but were home made ones done by rchippie when he still owned the recovery boat.

Will do on the stereo.

Wow Scott, thats nuts. Keep your cool if that a-hole comes back. Lot of crazy people around these days, no telling what could happen. New chain and lock to keep him from vandalizing seems logical.

Here are the "oars"....

I also have a canoe paddle that belongs to (I think) Jim.

There is a removable link on that chain, all you have to do is un-screw it.

A little WD-40 on it would be useful.

I have WD-40 but don't own any bolt cutters.

Scott, I have a medical problem that just popped up. I don't know yet but may be in the hospital by Sunday. DAMN! I'll do my best to be there. Give the stereo to somebody that can use it. I bought it for the club and I don't need it back.

My car is already loaded with boats and generator.

hey scott where is my yellow and red cowel? lol its only 50 feet out past the stairs lol.....i assume that the a hole was blocking the west entrance by the white building?

[bill34207]

Dang Jim. Now what's happened to you?

On another note... if Jim doesn't want the stereo back, would anyone else in the club like to have it? I don't want or need it and stuck it in my rental storage unit to get it out of my way. I really don't want to pull it out of storage, haul it down to Ackerman on Sunday, then have to haul it back up and put it back into storage. Unless someone speaks up I'll just leave it in the stoarge unit and save myself a few steps.

Still 50 feet out passed the stairs and 15 feet under water. In the condition Hughs was in after 3 weeks, im sure you wouldnt want yours back. And yes, that building is the roofing place.

Bring it. We can use it, wether we get a stronger gen orfor time being we can use the speakers. Ill store it as I alreadt made a spot for it a while back in a cabinet in the garage.... somehow I havent filled that cabinet yet.

[tiqueman]

Oh and Jim, I hope your doin okay and its nothing too serious. Keep us posted.

[bill34207]

After hearing there is a removeable link I was wondering the same thing.
I'll bring the stereo and WD-40.

[tiqueman]

Im gunna try and get down there tomorrow and check it out and or make any changes that may need done. if not Ill get there as early as possible Sunday am. I still say we all plan on using the parks entrance and not the roofing places.
