Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
Duckweed combined with leaves reduced the area for ambient light to penetrate down to the "stop" signs. We saw what appeared to be a 7ft diamondback snake in about 25ft of water on the eastern side of the sink, just before the chimney leading over to Friedman’s Sink. Thought it might have been a banded water snake, but the head was triangular and very big!
