Florida New Year's 2026

As has been our tradition for quite a few years, we went to Florida to cave dive over New Year's.  I haven't blogged about one of these trips in ages, but since Rob brought his camera (which he rarely does on cave trips), it seemed worthy of a few posts.  So, here goes:

• Eagles Nest Downstream
• Emerald Downstream
• Mainland
• Eagles Nest Downstream, Again
• Photography Fun at Ginnie
• Emerald Downstream, Again
• Eagles Nest Upstream 

I think this is also the first Florida cave trip I've blogged since Kevin moved to High Springs :(.  But on the plus side, we have a place to stay, someone to take care of our gear before the trip, and most importantly... a kitty to play with when we aren't diving!  This is Tika.  She's not the most social cat, but on this, my fourth visit to Kevin since he moved to Florida, she finally warmed up to me enough to hang out with us starting from the first day of the trip.  And she even jumped up on Rob's lap a couple of times!
