Redgranite quarry

[matt t.]

Todd and I dove at Red Granite today. Visibility was horrid (5 ft) down to 35 ft or so, and then it opened up to 15 ft or so. The 60-80 ft range was even better, but dark. There seems to be a lot of earth moving and land clearing work going on on the south and east sides of the quarry. None of the swimmers we talked to had a clue about what was going on there. Anybody know? We hit a couple spots in town looking for old quarry photos from when they were working it, but couldn't find anything with a good over all view. I did see a photo of the quarry that was labeled "1950" and it was full of water at that time.
