[pnpgm] ....Update...

[Scott Adams]

Just three small posts Wednesday night about toast and vegans.  So figured it would be a easy update.  But as predicted and so common these days *15* game related posts came in and about 4 emails on teh game all Thursday night as usual just hours before have to get update out.

So no update tonight.  It just took me almost 2 hours to extract those emails and prep them adn store on site.  Now with 20 min to bed that time took away from update so simply no time to work on it.

I only skimmed the posts didn't read every word but some comments..

* Fremea is only one to see a cave.  Will see what she wants to do.

* Prisoner.  I know some have posted about him.  But didn't read everything.  If you have specific Questions post them and I'll reply to them to be asked to him.
If not already done and not had time to read them.

* Spring - Sorry for confusion.  There is no CAVE above water.  I tis a natural water spring so its simply one big 100 foot diameter puit with water.  If you ever visited down here in FL where the Creature from teh Black lagoon was made Silver Springs or the numerous other springs its like those.  

There is bush growth and some trees around the perimeter.  The water pool itself is pretty docile with little waves from teh current.  Its calm water but there is motion in the center where teh depression is.  The depression or sinkhole is typically where the spring comes up from underground sources like aquafers.  The depression is about 30 feet wide and directly in teh center.  So basic math dictates center of pool is 100 feet from  center to edge so depress is a good 70 feet to edge.  The pool it at places only a few feet to as much as bottomless (can't tell how deep it goes).  This typical bottomless feature of springs is the center.  It is mostly 30-40 feet deep in most places though.  

The depression is about 30 feet under the top of the water.  But if you dive directly down it looks like it is endless in depth.  Around it are various sinkholes and mini depresssions which add few more feet lower than the depression making it a wild area for walking underwater.

This is how springs typically are.  

The cave is a hold really not a cave.  The hole goes down to darkness and is about 30 feet wide it seems.  But it looks to open up as it goes so it could be below the ground to a larger sinkhole or underwater cave.  

To the west the stream connects to the spring through a shallow 10 foot area (wide).  To the east of the spring is nothing but ground and a bit SE is the Rising Mount.  

There are no rock formations or above ground caves.  

If you know anything about springs some fools will actually dive in them and will explore the caves and holes inside.  Some can be quiet deep and lead to tunnels under the ground in some places 10 feet under the surface or hundreds of feet.  Course some get lost.  Some get trapped and some run out of air.  Its a dangerous sport.

Hope this clarifies things. 

So to sum up.  Stream west.  East/SW Rising Mount. South is Camp. 
Spring 100 foot diamter water hole.  Center is actual spring sinkhole about 30 feet wide and 30 feet deep but around it can be as much as 40 feet deep.  Center of sinnkhole appears bottomless.  Can't see from surface.  Small fish and animals (snakes, etc.) can be seen but nothing larger in fish terms than large goldfish.  

Fremea did see the same spring.  

The cave she sees is a cavity int eh actual Rising mount.

If need further detials ask.  Will answer over weekend.

Can still post changes till Mon afternoon/start of evening.
