Winterizing the "Deep Flooded Mine" for the season

Closing "Deep Flooded Mine" operations today for the season, by winterizing. Today John Eells and I deflated and removed both inflatables, took to my garage and were cleaned. We also cut free six total steel cables dangling below the platform, three from this steel float ball which we moved inside the opening (no easy feat mind you). Lastly, we covered the bench in plastic to protect it from the weather. While it's still diveable now, when it ices over, it makes it difficult to get the buoys! The 5' diameter steel buoy is earmarked as the buoy over the Monte Carlo in the spring, as the central point to begin most dives by the majority of the crew. That will also be a launching point for the continuing search for the body of Robin Murphy, a nearby resident who was murdered in 1995 and dumped in the mine, she was 17 years old. It has been a hell of a season here, and there is still much to do. Unbelievable amount of wreckage is at the bottom of this place, never has been seen since it went in. Merry Christmas all!

Tilly Foster....all closed up.

What kind of plastic do you use to wrap the bench? Home depot 3 mil or something specific from a sponsor (Maybe DUI has something)?

i use home depot endorsed duct tape....

All kidding aside, since superstorm sandy hit I have stocked up on 4" HONDA trash pumps. They pump 423 gallons per minute. Perhaps we could drain the deep flooded mine. About how many gallons of water are in that bad boy.( including side tunnels)the way I see it we could drain it in a few short weeks. Then all will be able to enjoy the lost artifacts of the fresh. Honda may even sponsor this event and cover fuel costs. Of course we can only use 93 octane. I,m all ears.

Is it spring water? We can package and label it "King of Shadows"....Deer Park would be a great sponser!

That is all as I am not the bartman...

Sounds to me like the start of a new business. Water and scrap two prong profit center.
