Wkpp?

Steve.B · August 8th, 2008, 11:37 PM

Me and the wife are off to the States for 4 weeks holiday in Sept/Oct.

We're driving San-Francisco to NYC.

As the exact route is not finalised yet, I thought I might take the chance and pop down into North Florida and have a look at the WKPP. Can any one tell me where it is? Easiest way to get there?

Can anyone recommend another site that's as interesting?

God Bless.

Here is the WKPP:

Easiest way to get there is with a Gavin scooter...

I am not sure if your question is serious, but if it is... the WKPP is not a place, it is an organisation. They explore the Wakulla cave system and others in Florida. The guy in the picture is George Irvine, former president of the WKPP and manufacturer of the Gavin scooters, and also a fervent advocate of DIR (to put it mildly...)

Ok, point taken, I thought WP was place. Sorry my mistake. (But why the picture of a man wearing speedos???)

So anyway....where are the caves? Can someone tell me?

High Springs, FL.

EE and GUE are on main street. You can catch Casey, Jarrod, and lots of others there from time to time. The staff is great and fun to talk with. They'll help you if you want to find the caves

Enjoy caves of FL - they are great, hope for good vis. In case of poor vis in the area, Ginnie is the place to be. If willing to drive, Mill Pond will never make you regret the drive: Jackson Blue, Hole in the Wall, Twin Cave will be a great experience.

Something of a "trademark"

They are the most "hydrodynamic" of all swimming trunks and are excellent for budgie smuggling.

EE really should start producing Speedos in blue with a big white GUE logo on the back
