      Brent Scarabin and Rick Sankey of WKPP added several hundred 
feet of line in a new system we are working called F-1 in Tallahassee
today. Starting from the end of a line that Brent and Steve Irving
added last week, which was added onto a lead we found the weekend 
before in between Wakulla Dives (Bill Mee and I), they followed the
flow donstream through a bedding plane restriction at 280 until it
broke into a huge room measuring about 200 feet across and 60 feet
high with three tunnels heading out of the room. 
 
      Chosing one at the far end, they continued to add until it 
appeared that they may have not chosen the best lead. Turning the 
dive, they went back upstream and broke that open in a lead we
found on the first dive in shallow water at 220. We believe this new
system will be a huge infeeder to Leon Sinks found on a dive by
Bill Gavin and me three years ago in downstream Turner.

       Tomorrow Rat and Casey will work F-2 and another sink nearby,
while Rick and Brent will go back this week with a larger crew to place
scooters and bottles past the restriction for a good push (we like to
hit the end of the line with full hundreds and a fresh horse). Next weekend,
depending on the rain situation, we will continue this and start the 
Forest, with a downstream Sullivan dive (Casey, JJ and I ) to find
out where the dirty water is coming from. We will go with the flow until
we hit the Bitter End / Big Dismal Tunnel or find the incoming tanic.
The rest of the crew will dive upsream. - G
