Date	Submitter	Visbility	Remarks
9/15/2007	Walter Pickel	5'	We went upstream to connect the right and left sides. We intended to scooter the left wall but visibility was too poor. We swam to the end of the line (1,200') and tied in. Went to the right wall but could not find the line.
11/5/2006	Walter Pickel	25'	Visibility in the lake was lower than what we have seen in the past few months. Downstream visibility was about the same. We relined from the entrance of downstream to about 1,700'. The line now runs on the right-hand side of the cave to try to prevent organic material flowing in the middle of the cave to pass without getting caught in the line.
9/16/2006	Walter Pickel	10'	Scootered back to the fix and portaged a couple of stage bottles back to about 3300'. This was to set up the dive to the end of the line. Viz is down since the last dive but still manageable. The dive we set up for encountered more broken line at 3,500' so the push was aborted. This line will need to be repaired as well.
9/9/2006	Walter Pickel	15'	Dove upstream and helped repair the downstream line. Dove upstream and found that the line is broken at about 900'. Viz in the basin is very clear.
8/27/2006	Walter Pickel	15'	Did a dive downstream to inspect lines. There is a break about 500' in that will need to be repaired. Also dove upstream a bit.
