oakotoma as in Seminary???

I have land just a few miles from there.

Next time you go dive, let me and Frank know. I paddled down it one year and there were a couple divers diving the big falls.. You?

i dive the big falls. we park then walk in. the falls are about 50 yards or less from fairchild landing. we mostly go there to get wet and suck down some air. the vis is poor about 1 foot in the current, less out of the fast current. the bottom is only at most 10 feet. we search for lost items, like wallets, jerlery, and such that has come from the canoes.. i like to go as often as i can. it's different. afternoon late is the best time to go not as many canoes.

Just curious, has it paid off?  ;)
