  2. Once again the TriTrogs represented at &lt;b&gt;Grand Caverns&lt;/b&gt; Annual
  3. Spring Restoration Camp, with participation from Emily, Elise, Kim, Rachel,
  4. Tanya, Zeke, and me. The trip started with an unexpected detour toward
  5. Lexington to pick up Tanya after her car broke down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  9. On Saturday morning I led a small group with buckets of
  10. gravel back to the Oyster Shells at the back of the tourist trail. Puddles had
  11. been forming on the tourist trail, and the commercial trail was getting
  12. slippery. We immediately discovered that instead of gravel, we really needed
  13. muscle and tools instead. A thin veneer of flowstone was forming atop last
  14. year’s gravel. Using a weird assortment of tools, we sledged, picked, and
  15. pulled our way back to the gravel floor. We gradually assembled more tools and
  16. workers to create very walkable trails.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  20. Kim and Emily hauled lumber up to Fountain Cave, Rachel and
  21. Elise scrubbed algae before joining the floor crew, Tanya worked with the
  22. flowers, Emily climbed on the roof, and Zeke spent the day installing the first
  23. phone lines ever within the cave.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  375. and Rachel found a deep hole behind one of the formations. Except for Tanya,

We’re headed for Sea World!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  378. Taylor Tibbs, Emily Graham, Pete Hertl and I squeezed into
  379. wet suit pieces to prepare for a winter trip into &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Big Sink Cave&lt;/b&gt; in Smyth County, Virginia. I had viewed the 1965 compass-and-pace
  380. map that indicated we’d be climbing down through some stream cascades as the
  381. survey progressed toward the back of the cave. Therefore, the wet suits seemed
  382. to be a good precaution.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  383. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  384. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  385. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  386. Inside the Entrance Room we found that a pack rat or some other
  387. creature had likely visited the cave and walked off with our tie-in point at
  388. the back of the room. We shot the survey again and then headed for a short easy
  389. climb. Atop the climb Emily discovered an alcove with a hole in the ceiling.
  390. Emily pushed up a dirty slope but couldn’t quite find enough footing to ascend.
  391. Taylor poked her way up into the virgin Kidney Bean Room, but they told me I’d
  392. never be able to fit through the entrance hole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  393. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  394. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  395. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  396. We returned to the more spacious passage where Pete had
  397. started mapping out survey points. We found ourselves in Swiss cheese-style
  398. cave with interconnecting holes of different sizes over and under mock
  399. breakdown. We discovered that one crawlway had multiple holes leading back down
  400. into a larger room, and one led right back into the Entrance Room.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  401. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  402. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  403. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  404. We descended into a big open room with a flowstone octopus
  405. up near the ceiling, a massive block shooting up like an orca, and a slab that
  406. resembled an alligator from one particular angle (according to Pete). Needless
  407. to say, we unofficially dubbed the room Sea World even before we noticed the
  408. windows into the stream flowing beneath the room.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  409. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  410. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  411. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  412. Sketching this room turned out to be particularly difficult
  413. for me. Because it was so hard to figure out if there were any real walls.
  414. Behind every rock there seemed to be more empty space, and maybe a lead or two.
  415. We spent the next few hours surveying around this room, in and out some of the
  416. seven leads that we identified. Along the way we found pretty rooms that
  417. weren’t on the 1965 map at all, but those folks never necessarily crawled
  418. either.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  419. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  420. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  421. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  422. I thought that the team was about to quit when I realized
  423. that we only needed 16 more feet to accumulate 500 feet of survey that day.
  424. Emily found a 31-foot shot but then pulled back to stop it at 16.45 feet,
  425. declaring an end to the survey that day.&lt;/div&gt;
  426. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  427. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  428. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  429. Taylor kindly washed the survey tape in the flowing stream
  430. while I finished the sketch. I never stepped in the stream
  431. all day, but I think the crew was thankful for the wet suits in the long
  432. run. We all stayed warm despite the chilly February temps outside.&lt;/div&gt;
  433. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  436. Even though I couldn’t find all my survey gear, Emily, Mark
  437. D., and I headed to Tanya’s home for a survey weekend. I didn’t like driving in
  438. pouring rain and then pea soup fog. After Mark amazed everyone with his
  439. knowledge of hari paste and the origins of the Amazon River, Tanya read a short
  440. description of &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Sheep Cave&lt;/b&gt; that
  441. guaranteed walking passage on Saturday. Something to look forward to on a cold
  442. January day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  443. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  444. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  445. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  446. As I walked toward the entrance, I noticed that I was
  447. following a small stream and wondered if a water-filled entrance would greet
  448. me. Strangely enough, it was actually an old metal appliance-filled entrance
  449. with the stream dropping below that. Tanya refused to enter the cave via that
  450. entrance and walked Mark over the cave to the southern entrance. Emily managed
  451. to pitch the tape measure to Mark and find a survey spot roughly four feet from
  452. the nearest appliance. We still found the compass swinging by ten degrees for
  453. the high-angle shot at the top, and Mark discovered that his magnetic station may have
  454. also affected the compass. It was getting windy, but we eventually dropped a
  455. tape and negotiated a valid pair of measurements.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  456. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  457. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  458. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  459. Emily and I then surveyed into Tanya’s entrance, after
  460. determining that Emily could not be forced into a rabbit hole that would lead
  461. to a balcony in the cave. I was bothered by the fact that I didn’t have a pair of reading
  462. glasses, but my strong light produced just enough light to work with my long
  463. arms. We surveyed underground to connect the entrances and then started
  464. downstream. It was a very strange game of leapfrog surveying that Tanya, Emily,
  465. and Mark played as they kept trading survey positions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  466. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  467. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  468. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  469. We were definitely in walking passage, reaching over 25 feet
  470. high. Unfortunately the twisting passageways took us to a terminus where the
  471. water at best sumped. It was an unnecessarily large room with a muddy floor and
  472. an escape route on a high ledge. I looked into the escape route and could make
  473. out daylight filtering in on the other side.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  474. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  475. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  476. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  477. While Mark and Emily surveyed the escape route, Tanya asked
  478. if we could finally go deeper into the cave using the passage lead she had seen
  479. from the entrance. I had to tell her that her that the escape route turned out
  480. to be her promising lead. I think we found a great cave entrance area minus the
  481. cave; that&#39;s where the water eventually drains. Maybe we could see more in a
  482. drought.&lt;/div&gt;

  841. Overall we surveyed 306 feet of cave passage that day,
  842. setting 20 survey stations and closing two loops (with closure rated as Good). However,
  843. we were never more than fifty horizontal feet from an entrance (although the sinuous
  844. passage made me spiral down to reach the lowest point in the cave). The deepest
  845. point is forty feet below the upper entrance. There’s some Sunday mop-up survey
  846. to be done, but maybe that can wait for a drier time with the hope that the
  847. cave will drain and reveal a new passage. We exited and got into dry clothes
  848. just before the snow began.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  855. This was one amazing delightful trip from beginning to
  856. finish. I had no plans for the New Year’s weekend, and with my recent single
  857. status, I had nothing but time and a desire to escape to the serenity of the
  858. beautiful mountains. I left Raleigh Thursday afternoon with my truck packed for
  859. anything, including my portable fire pit. I was hoping for a flash mob campfire
  860. at some point but didn’t get that crazy! &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;
  861. It was pouring rain as I departed, but I knew from the weather forecast and
  862. radar, that there were clear skies ahead. The rest of the group (Ken, Rob,
  863. Rachel, &amp;amp; Beth) were not coming up until Friday evening, so I headed off
  864. without any specific plan, just knowing it was going to be a great weekend. I
  865. was hoping to celebrate New Year’s in a different, special, or unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
  866. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  868. Day 1 – New Year’s Eve&lt;br /&gt;
  869. &lt;br /&gt;
  870. I drove out 64 West through Siler City, but it wasn’t until
  871. a turned north on 421 through Greensboro that the rain started to let up. Once
  872. I was north of Winston Salem, the rain had stopped and I was seeing the most
  873. amazing sun lit sky on the horizon. I stopped several times along the way to
  874. take in the view and snap some pictures.&lt;/div&gt;

  885. &lt;br /&gt;
  886. &lt;br /&gt;
  887. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I was elated with the beauty of the afternoon and the
  888. anticipation of an amazing weekend. With the sunset coming soon I drove with
  889. haste to try and make it to Blacksburg before sundown. Since I’d never been to
  890. Blacksburg and I needed to find a hotel for the weekend, I wanted to get there
  891. and have time to look around while it was still light. I made it into town with
  892. about an hour to spare. I pretty much drove by every hotel I could find between
  893. Christiansburg and Blacksburg, in which there aren’t many choices. I was also
  894. consulting online reviews of the hotels on my iPad as well. I was close to
  895. staying at the Holiday Inn Express, right across the street from the Texas
  896. Roadhouse, which was calling my growling stomach at this point. What killed it
  897. for me was the cheesy New Year’s celebration they had setup in the lobby and
  898. breakfast buffet area. For $65 I could have dinner and listen to some comedian for
  899. the evening, uh .. No thanks! I also realized at this point, I wasn’t going to
  900. find a hotel room for under $100 unless I wanted to sleep with the bed bugs at
  901. the Comfort Inn. I ended up at the perfect place, the Hampton Inn, which was a
  902. very nice hotel for about $110/night. There is a good side door for bringing in
  903. and out gear, with a washer and dryer available if needed. The breakfast buffet
  904. was pretty good each morning as well. The staff was extremely friendly and I
  905. would highly recommend staying there to anyone, definitely my place of choice
  906. for future trips. There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby and easy
  907. access to the highway for venturing out. As luck would have it the Hampton Inn
  908. also has a respectable steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse, right across the street.
  909. I checked into the hotel and headed over for dinner, hoping to talk to some locals
  910. about the haps in Blacksburg on this New Year’s Eve. I sat at the bar and
  911. ordered some much needed food. I couldn’t get much information out of the
  912. overworked staff at the bar, but after a quick search on my iPad for live music
  913. in the area, I hit the jackpot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  914. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  915. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  916. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  917. I found there was a live music celebration happening in
  918. Floyd, VA that evening, which was only about 35 minutes south. I decided this
  919. was the unique New Years’ experience I was looking for. I hurriedly finished my
  920. dinner, went back to my hotel to freshen up, this hair doesn’t just happen you
  921. know! &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; I
  922. headed south down Highway 8 to Floyd. It was actually a pretty nice drive, but
  923. a little windy and scary for the first time at night. I arrived at the Dogtown
  924. Roadhouse in historic downtown Floyd just in time for the show to start at 9pm.
  925. The first band up was The Deer Run Drifters, a local bluegrass folk bank, which
  926. everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The energy in the venue was very cool and I felt
  927. completely comfortable. The mix of people was very interesting, everything from
  928. senior citizens, children, hippies, and college students of course. I danced
  929. beside a guy with dreadlocks most of the night. Everyone was dancing and
  930. enjoying the show. Next up was the headliner Spoon Fight. They were also a
  931. local band, which appeared to be all college students, and I think their proud
  932. parents were in the audience. They were an alternative blues bands with a 3
  933. piece horn section! Both bands have albums on Spotify worth checking out. It
  934. was near impossible to get to the bar for a drink which was a good thing since
  935. I did have to drive back later, I only had three beers all evening. I was able
  936. to work my way up to front and center of the stage for the rest of the show. Truly
  937. a remarkable and memorable evening. Even though the band continued to jam well
  938. past midnight, I decided to cut out early and return to my hotel in Blacksburg.
  939. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  940. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 3.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  941. &lt;br /&gt;
  942. Day 2 – New Year’s Day&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  943. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  944. You guessed it, this day started at the breakfast buffet! I
  945. had no specific plans for the day, just knew I was seeking adventure. With the
  946. rest of the group not arriving till later in the evening I had all day to
  947. explore. I decided to head north on US 460 towards West Virginia. Since the highway
  948. follows the New River for a good stretch, there was promise of some beautiful
  949. scenery. I was not disappointed! As I drove north my first stop ended up being
  950. in Pembroke, VA. I actually saw a sign for a boat landing, which meant I could
  951. get to the water. This was a very picturesque little bend in the river that was
  952. just a glimpse of the beautiful day ahead of me.&lt;br /&gt;
  953. &lt;br /&gt;

  966. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  967. As I was finding my way back to the highway, I stumbled upon
  968. the Tangent Outdoors &amp;amp; Café store that is in central Pembroke right on 460.
  969. This was a very cool store with tons of camping &amp;amp; hiking equipment. I
  970. picked up an illustrated trail map of the area and purchased a new souvenir hat
  971. of The Cascades which I decided to visit later in the day. The road beside the
  972. store leads directly to the parking lot for the Cascade’s trailhead. &amp;nbsp;I continued along 460 north until I reached West
  973. Virginia. Here is another nice bend in the river I stopped to enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;

  992. The drive up to West Virginia along the New River was beautiful
  993. and well worth the drive. I had some lunch in Princeton and began my way back
  994. south. I couldn’t wait to get back and hit the trail to The Cascades. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  995. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  996. The Cascades trail is a 4-mile round trip with the Lower
  997. trail following right along the Little Stony Creek upstream. Then you can
  998. return on the more direct Upper trail which is all downhill. Legs likey!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  999. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1000. I declare that that this is one of the most beautiful
  1001. mountain trails I have ever been on. It was almost as if I had stepped into
  1002. some type of fantasy movie and I’m walking through the magical forest. The
  1003. little walkways and stairways beside the creek were so cool!&amp;nbsp; It is a must visit if you are in the area,
  1004. and I plan to return every time I can for sure.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1049. Beth arrived in town that evening. I met them at the River Mill Bar &amp;amp; Grill
  1050. in downtown Blacksburg for dinner, where another caving friend Ava Pope, joined
  1051. us as well. We soon returned to the hotel room to determine if we would all be
  1052. able to fit in one room to save cash. Fortunately the room was roomy enough, I was
  1053. able set up a camping cot I brought for Beth to sleep on. Ken being the
  1054. gentleman he is grabbed a spot in the floor. It wasn’t long before we were deep
  1055. into a nail-biting game of Exploding Kittens NSFW version. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1074. The next morning I was up
  1075. with the sun excited with anticipation of a day of cave exploring. I had a nice
  1076. relaxing morning hanging out and reading in the very nice breakfast buffet and
  1077. lobby area. I was surprised how late everyone else slept, bunch of sleepy
  1078. heads! Once I finally roused everyone out of bed, they got breadfast and coffee
  1079. from the buffet,&amp;nbsp; we got all suited up
  1080. and were ready to go. I know, finally right? Fortunately, I always overpack and
  1081. had some extra Under Armour to loan Beth. We headed north on 460 for a short 30
  1082. minute drive to the New River Cave location. There is a nice little parking
  1083. area where the trail heads up the side of the hill to the cave entrance. We all
  1084. continued the suit up process, it took a while to get Rachel all taped up. Duct
  1085. tape makes a very nice sash. As we started ascending the side of the hill, we
  1086. were delighted to find that the local caving club had recently spent a lot of
  1087. time improving the trail. It was if they had come out and prepared it for our arrival!
  1088. As we moved up the trail we couldn’t help but kick a stick off the trail or
  1089. straighten a rock to show our appreciation. We reached a spot on the side of
  1090. the hill that had a gorgeous view of the New River. I thought we were close to
  1091. the entrance, but only about halfway there. I’m thinking I might should have
  1092. had another waffle! &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-no-proof: yes; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; We finally arrive at

  1119. Can you guess who was first
  1120. in the cave, that’s right, for the record it was me! The entrance is very easy
  1121. to traverse, pretty much stooping or walking was all that was needed. As we
  1122. entered the cave we noticed there were quite a few bats hibernating, Ken
  1123. counted about 40 or so. We lowered our voices and proceeded slowly and quietly
  1124. as not to disturb the cute little sleeping bats. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1133. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1134. We arrived in the first nice-sized
  1135. room where we signed the log book that’s kept in a PVC pipe there. We did
  1136. notice a lot of damage to the formations in the entrance of the cave from the
  1137. local spelunkers. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-no-proof: yes; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; The main path travels
  1138. easily along the edge of the fault line that runs the length of Spruce Run
  1139. Mountain. The majority of the cave is angled on this fault line rising to the
  1140. left and down to the right as you head into the cave. Ken and I noticed a
  1141. definitive water line up very high on wall of the cave, which was very
  1142. interesting. As we continued into the cave the rooms got bigger and bigger and
  1143. it seemed there were so many different ways to explore! Of course, since Ken
  1144. has been on about 15 survey trips in the cave, he had a slight advantage. Ken
  1145. gave us plenty of opportunity to explore, as each of us had a chance to lead
  1146. the group off in the wrong direction. It was pretty funny, and sometimes Ken
  1147. had to bail us out as all the arrows were confusing us. We were about ¼ mile into
  1148. the cave before we reached the Lunch Room. I kept thinking we were going to be
  1149. going down further into the cave, but this is when Ken surprised us by
  1150. directing us up into the Attic Room! From the Attic Room we continued up into
  1151. the Planetarium, where Beth and I heard water! Where was that coming from!!? We
  1152. climbed down into a hole to find a nice little trickle of water, lol. There
  1153. were quite a few little pools of water in the cave, as I kept my eyes peeled
  1154. for salamanders, but didn’t see any on this trip. It’s amazing how time flies
  1155. when you’re in a cave, I think we had killed 2-3 hrs by this point. We could
  1156. have stopped to eat in the Lunch Room, but the view was much nicer in the
  1157. Planetarium. Challenge time! Ken showed us the way to the Forest Room which
  1158. required some belly crawling on an angle. Once Ken showed us the way he
  1159. returned to wait with Beth who decided to rest while we explored. We got to the
  1160. spot where we could see down into the room and Rachel and I said that’s far
  1161. enough. It looked very difficult to get back up out of the room once you
  1162. dropped down into it. Forturnately Rob took the lead and showed me how easy it
  1163. was. We both dropped down into one of the coolest rooms I’ve seen. This picture
  1164. on my Iphone barely captures it, but just a glimpse. We would have been there
  1165. much longer if Rob had his camera, another time for sure. Definitely worth the
  1166. effort to get to the Forest Room!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1184. That is, until you start the
  1185. angled crawl back out of the passage to the Planetarium. By the time we
  1186. finished huff and puffing, grunting and groaning, slideways crawling back to
  1187. the rest of the group I was spent. It took a good 10-15 minutes of rest to get
  1188. my breath back and heart rate down. I know, I’m out of shape! We all crawled
  1189. back down out of the Planetarium and Attic Rooms. Rachel and I continued to
  1190. rest after the super crawl as the Rob, Beth &amp;amp; Ken took another scenic route
  1191. back to the main path. As we regrouped, we disussed what was next. At this
  1192. point we had been in the cave about 5 hrs and decided we should turn around and
  1193. head out. We really wanted to go see the waterfall, but after looking at the
  1194. map, I’m glad we didn’t. It was another ¼ mile of tight wet passages. Next trip
  1195. will be straight to the falls for sure! Even though we just came through the passages,
  1196. we were still taking turns leading in the wrong direction. I saw a lot of
  1197. little rooms no one else did though. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-no-proof: yes; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; At some point on the
  1198. way out, Ken did take us on a little detour to another small room with a much
  1199. more significant and prettier water trickle than the one Beth and I climbed
  1200. down to earlier.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1201. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1202. Our last stop on the way out
  1203. was the Winter Forest Room. This made for a great photo opportunity thanks to
  1204. Rob’s camera skills. Somebody moved!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1219. You can obviously see how
  1220. much dirtier we are now than when we entered the cave, but actually not that
  1221. bad. We still all have clean spots on our coveralls. We were in the cave about
  1222. 6-7 hours by the time we exited, which was perfect for a sport trip like this.
  1223. It was dark outside, but the hike down was very easy with the newly improved
  1224. trail. After a quick costume change, we were ready to head back to town for
  1225. dinner. The Under Armour I loaned Beth proved to be very durable, as the seat
  1226. of her jeans were completely gone from all the hill sliding. I headed back to
  1227. the hotel and took a quick shower, you should’ve seen my hair, bad bad helmet
  1228. head! I met up with everyone at Alejandros Mexican Restaurant nearby for a
  1229. quick meal before they hit the road to return to Raleigh. I returned to the
  1230. hotel just in time to relax and watch a movie on HBO. I felt bad that Ken was
  1231. driving back late after such a long day, and here I was relaxing in my hotel
  1232. bed. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-no-proof: yes; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1237. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1238. I still had some adventure left in me for the trip home. I
  1239. decided to take Highway 8 south back through Floyd, VA to see it in the
  1240. daytime. Ken suggested heading down that way as there were a lot of state parks
  1241. and places to explore. I traveled past Rocky Knob Recreation area and on down
  1242. through Woolwine. Then I headed east on 57 past Fairy Stone State Park. Then I
  1243. saw the sign for the Philpott Damn,… water attracts me. The Philpott Lake
  1244. Recreation Area I stopped at was phenomenal. The visitors center was actually
  1245. closed and I pretty much had the whole park to myself. I couldn’t ask for a
  1246. better view, and place to sit and jam out a set on my guitar, as the sun warmed
  1247. my back. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;wingdings&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

  1273. At the last grotto meeting, I shared photos from my trip to
  1274. &lt;b&gt;Lava Beds National Monument&lt;/b&gt; and tried to discuss some of the geology. Needless
  1275. to say, that doesn’t translate out as a trip report. Therefore, I thought I’d
  1276. add a trip log here. I won’t bother with the names of the California caves
  1277. because I don’t need Buford Pruitt summarizing this trip report in the NSS
  1278. News. Interested parties should refer to the Cave Research Foundation (CRF)
  1279. pages for official trip reports (cave-research.org), but I don&#39;t think you can do that online.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1280. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1281. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1282. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1283. September 21 – Due to a prior commitment, I arrived at the
  1284. fieldhouse three days after everyone else. Because they sent ME on a wild goose
  1285. chase looking for cheese sticks in the wrong grocery, I arrived after dark but
  1286. still found dinner waiting.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They liked
  1287. my DSLR camera when I pulled it out to take a scorpion photo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1288. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1289. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1290. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1291. September 22 – My pretty camera got me nominated to join the
  1292. team exploring a lava tube cave in Modoc National Forest that passed back under
  1293. Lava Beds NM. In addition to the camera gear, I had to take along vertical gear
  1294. for a 25-foot entrance drop. The rope landed atop a 150-foot high breakdown
  1295. mountain with a 40-foot wide passage. While two party members explored down a
  1296. narrow vertical lead, I traveled with Paul McMullen and Mark Jones along the
  1297. main passage and collected some photo documentation of the cave. Pretty cool to
  1298. be the first person to photograph this enormous lava tube and only be the
  1299. eighth person to ever see it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1300. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1301. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1302. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1303. September 23 – A geology field trip taught me a lot about
  1304. basalt, obsidian, pumice, andesite, a’a, and pahoehoe across the Medicine Lake
  1305. shield-like caldera.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1309. September 24 – One of the longest caves in the national
  1310. monument still required a bit of mop up work to complete the map. At the first
  1311. spot, Ed Klausner completed a complicated vertical sketch, and then we
  1312. descended. I didn’t see any of the ice I heard about on the lower levels. I
  1313. then supported the four pieces of a hunting stand while Ed climbed a lava fall
  1314. only to find a dead end. The smaller folks then squirmed into a tight lead at
  1315. the bottom of the cave while Paul and I looked for other leads and removed old
  1316. survey marks. Dave Riggs, the park technician along with us that day, told us
  1317. that the white crust on the walls in this windy cave was actually calcite.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1318. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1320. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1321. September 25 – Mark Jones and I conducted some mop up survey
  1322. in the Balcony flow. We were much too big for this passage, especially with me
  1323. on lead tape. We were able to make visual connections to the surface and even
  1324. see Paradise, but we were much too large to get to Paradise from our purgatory.
  1325. We ended up abandoning one survey station near a cave entrance because the iron
  1326. in the rocks was consistently throwing the compass off by FIFTY degrees.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1327. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1328. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1329. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1330. September 26 – Back to a different cave in the same flow
  1331. with Dave West and Karen Willmes. While surveying, I dragged my body over the
  1332. loose volcanic cobble until the room where we looked up to a skylight twelve
  1333. feet above my head. I prayed for a miraculous rope to drop from the hole, but
  1334. ultimately we had to return through the cobbly area “where angels fear to
  1335. tread.” When we put the surveys together, it was easy to locate the nondescript
  1336. skylight (I’m not sure I’d fit wearing vertical gear) from the surface with
  1337. compass and tape.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1703. September 27 – As we began our journey back to Reno for the
  1704. flight home, we took the scenic route through Lassen Volcanic National Park to
  1705. check out the geothermal features (steam geysers and mud pots).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  1707. &lt;br /&gt;
  1708. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1709. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1710. The gate was locked. The landowner was not home, so we
  1711. needed an alternate plan. I (Ken) was not too displeased with the forced change
  1712. because my previous encounter with &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Rail
  1713. Valley Cave&lt;/b&gt; was not enjoyable (see January 2015 trip report). &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Joel Johnson, Emily Graham, and I ended up
  1714. surveying &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Beaver Creek Cave&lt;/b&gt; on
  1715. Saturday and saved Rail Valley Cave for Sunday, and that turned out to be the
  1716. best possible solution.&lt;/div&gt;
  1717. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1718. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1719. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1720. Each of us had several pleasant surprises that we’d like to
  1721. share as our trip report (attributions below do not reflect comments by one of
  1722. us specifically because they were composed during the drive home).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1723. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1724. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1725. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1726. Emily’s Pleasant Surprises:&lt;/div&gt;
  1727. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1728. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1729. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1730. &lt;/div&gt;
  1731. &lt;ul&gt;
  1732. &lt;li&gt;Learning how to survey afforded her time to hear the
  1733. croaking sounds from the formations.&lt;/li&gt;
  1734. &lt;li&gt;She hadn’t been missing any great clothing buys when Joel’s
  1735. knee-high waterproof sealskin socks turned out to be 100% water absorbent.&lt;/li&gt;
  1736. &lt;li&gt;The rimstone dams were quite pretty in the section of cave
  1737. where she was looking for a light connection with Ken, even if she had missed
  1738. the turn in the passage.&lt;/li&gt;
  1739. &lt;li&gt;The stream outside Beaver Creek Cave was a wonderful place
  1740. to wash gear, and the intermittent pools in Rail Valley Cave were great for
  1741. cleaning the tape measure.&lt;/li&gt;
  1742. &lt;li&gt;The distance between survey points in Rail Valley Cave
  1743. progressed from an average of 7 feet in the first two shots to an average of 42
  1744. feet in the last two shots.&lt;/li&gt;
  1745. &lt;li&gt;The trains running overhead didn’t cause Rail Valley Cave to
  1746. collapse.&lt;/li&gt;
  1747. &lt;li&gt;Baby salamanders swam in rimstone pools with colorful
  1748. banding (the pools had colorful banding, not the salamanders).&lt;/li&gt;
  1749. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1750. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1751. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1752. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1753. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1754. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1755. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1756. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1757. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1758. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1759. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1760. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1761. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1762. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1763. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1764. &lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;Joel’s Pleasant Surprises:&lt;/div&gt;
  1765. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1766. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1767. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1768. &lt;/div&gt;
  1769. &lt;ul&gt;
  1770. &lt;li&gt;Inner Mountain Outfitters sent his virgin cave suit and
  1771. Swaygo pack by next day air in time for the trip.&lt;/li&gt;
  1772. &lt;li&gt;Though he couldn’t fit down the first lead where we began
  1773. survey in Beaver Creek Cave, we found an alternate way to the bottom of the slide.&lt;/li&gt;
  1774. &lt;li&gt;Ken’s loaner wet suit was appreciated when he splashed down
  1775. the slide into the stream.&lt;/li&gt;
  1776. &lt;li&gt;Swirling black reflections on the water’s surface were
  1777. mesmerizing.&lt;/li&gt;
  1778. &lt;li&gt;Free ice.&lt;/li&gt;
  1779. &lt;li&gt;Bonnie hugged Joel for saving a crow stuck in a tree.&lt;/li&gt;
  1780. &lt;li&gt;Wet caving clothes dried to a damp level after being left

  1802. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1804. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1805. &lt;/div&gt;
  1806. &lt;ul&gt;
  1807. &lt;li&gt;Emily had a seemingly endless supply of rocks that Ken could
  1808. bang against the ceiling until the passage was large enough for him.&lt;/li&gt;
  1809. &lt;li&gt;When he was forced into doing splits crossing Sculpin Lake,
  1810. the water remained below the waistline afforded by his neoprene pants.&lt;/li&gt;
  1811. &lt;li&gt;Joel was willing to drive his truck through the jungle to
  1812. Rail Valley Cave.&lt;/li&gt;
  1813. &lt;li&gt;The entrance to Rail Valley Cave was dry (a disappointment
  1814. to Emily until after she crawled inside).&lt;/li&gt;
  1815. &lt;li&gt;Two novice surveyors surveyed so fast that Ken had to make
  1816. them stop so the sketching could catch up. Ken also didn’t have to erase any
  1817. numbers on the Sunday survey.&lt;/li&gt;
  1818. &lt;li&gt;Ken remembered that his cell phone was lost along with his
  1819. keys, wallet, and pants.&lt;/li&gt;
  1820. &lt;li&gt;Emily and Joel (wearing Ken’s wet suit) had been talking
  1821. about how stream water was warming their feet in their wellies rather than
  1822. about the other fluids mentioned in their previous day’s discussion.&lt;/li&gt;
  1823. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1824. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1825. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1829. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1830. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1831. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  1837. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1838. &lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;And, for the numerically inclined, we surveyed well over
  1839. four hundred feet of cave. Joel and Emily might add more comments below.&lt;/div&gt;
  1840. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1841. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

(and Spring VAR)</title><content type='html'>Our group of TriTrogs (Ken, Diana, Emily, and Rob) rolled into Natural Bridge, VA, on Friday night to find a cold, busy campground brimming with cavers. There were well over 300 registered for Spring VAR, hosted this year by the BATS. After verifying that Saturday&#39;s guided trips were full, we found Tanya and, eventually, our campsite. Many thanks to Lee for his intrepid campsite wrangling.&lt;br /&gt;
  1844. &lt;br /&gt;
  1845. Ken got the dirt on a pair of nearby caves, namely Brady&#39;s and Brady&#39;s Hidden. The proximity allowed us the luxury of sleeping in on Saturday while those bound for farther reaches geared up in the cold early morning rain. After breakfast and canopy assembly the four of us were joined by cabin-dwellers Wendell and Joel.&lt;br /&gt;
  1846. &lt;br /&gt;
  1847. What we saw of Brady&#39;s can be summed up as about two hundred feet of stagnant, foul-smelling cave that showed heavy signs of raccoon use. Two tri-colored bats were spotted. One obliged Rob by submitting to numerous tests of his various macro camera settings. We exited to a light, brief rain and sought out Brady&#39;s Hidden Cave. Rob found it a couple of sinkholes away, below a large triangle of exposed limestone that may as well have been a blinking neon sign. We navigated about a quarter mile of cave, which included a tiny spring, a small, pretty room filled with active formations, short, interesting climbs through large breakdown, and the welcome discovery of an alternative route that prevented my rib cage from suffering the same indignity twice.&lt;br /&gt;
  1848. &lt;br /&gt;
  1849. That evening we gathered at the Natural Bridge Hotel for dinner, followed by Ernst Kastning&#39;s presentation on the history of Natural Bridge, followed by door prizes. A local band entertained the campground until 11pm. Sunday morning Front Royal Grotto offered an affordable pancake breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;
  1850. &lt;br /&gt;
  1851. Ken attended the VAR business meeting. The new VAR website (&lt;a href=&quot;http://var.caves.org/&quot;&gt;var.caves.org&lt;/a&gt;) has a closed cave list that they are trying to keep current. Archived issues of the &lt;i&gt;Region Record&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;are also online, and hopes remain for an index to same. Various conservation projects were mentioned. Fundraising continues for New River Cave. And Walker Mountain Grotto became an official member of VAR and agreed to host Fall VAR this year! At least that&#39;s what we all heard.&lt;br /&gt;
  1852. &lt;br /&gt;
  1853. Before leaving town we visited Foamhenge, a life-size Styrofoam model of Stonehenge. Only better, because it has most of a life-size model of Merlin the wizard presiding over it. It was totally worth the price of admission.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tritrogs.blogspot.com/feeds/3941224379655709508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30407860&amp;postID=3941224379655709508' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30407860/posts/default/3941224379655709508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30407860/posts/default/3941224379655709508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tritrogs.blogspot.com/2015/04/foamhenge-and-spring-var.html' title='FOAMHENGE!

  1854. Even though other TriTrogs all backed out, I elected to
  1855. reroute myself a bit for this year’s &lt;b&gt;Grand Caverns&lt;/b&gt; Easter Restoration Camp. I
  1856. drove up Friday evening in time to catch dinner in Grottoes, Virginia. This solo
  1857. effort left plenty of time to socialize with the other two dozen cavers before
  1858. work began on Saturday. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1859. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1860. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1861. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1862. I spent the morning hauling buckets of gravel through Grand
  1863. Caverns’ majestic hallways while others painted doors and handled outdoor
  1864. chores. We worked up sweats that were obvious to the tour groups we tried not
  1865. to disturb. Before lunch the tour groups tended to be pretty small, but they
  1866. grew to sizes over thirty in the afternoon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1867. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1868. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1869. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  1870. After our free lunch provided by VAR, I shared a quick tour
  1871. of the cave formations to some new volunteers. Then we returned to bucket
  1872. hauling for a short while. I eventually peeled off to help spray clean algae
  1873. growing on the formations; I was taller than the rest of the spray crew and
  1874. could reach the high places that needed scrubbing. Some of the algae seemed so
  1875. old that it’s below the flowstone surfaces now.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  2219. A few hours after the free dinner, I left to visit my family
  2220. in Baltimore for a breakfast heavy on the Polish sausage. If you’re sorry that
  2221. you missed this conservation effort, we’ll likely have more opportunities
  2222. closer next winter as the VAR continues with on- and off-trail cave restoration
  2223. efforts in &lt;b&gt;Caverns of Natural Bridge&lt;/b&gt; next winter.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Four members of Walker Mountain Grotto were introduced to the cave during a thorough bat count. We tallied six bats on this trip. That&#39;s three fewer than were recorded last March, but five more than we spotted there in the fall. Bill Grose has posted a trip report with photos on Walker Mountain Grotto&#39;s website:&lt;br /&gt;

  2231. I tagged along and got the opportunity to revisit the graffiti cleanup sites that we worked on in November. Our efforts weren&#39;t wasted. The Grantham Room looks remarkably better. Our man-made mud still masks the writing on the sloping walls there. The more vertical areas that we had abraded with wire brushes look a little raw by comparison, but the overall result is gratifying. I didn&#39;t see any signs of new vandalism, unless you count the pack rat rubbish. A lot remains to be done. If you took part in the bat count last fall and you have any interest in a future cleanup trip, you&#39;ll be delighted to know that hauling giant buckets of water into the cave is entirely unnecessary; that was just for fun.&lt;br /&gt;

  2239. The last day of February greeted us with warm temperatures
  2240. and good road conditions. The snow had even been plowed from the Rich Valley
  2241. road nearest the cave entrance, all piled up nicely along the edge of the road.
  2242. Unfortunately the driveway down to the abandoned house wasn’t plowed.
  2243. Eventually Dave and Rob found a way to get their vehicles off the road, and we
  2244. headed straight up a snowy hillside. Best snow I had seen all year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2245. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2246. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

  2248. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Ken squeezing into Beaver Creek&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  2249. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  2250. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2251. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2252. The entrance to &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Beaver
  2253. Creek Cave&lt;/b&gt; was just the right size for me to squeeze in sideways, but I was
  2254. less enamored by the snow melting into mud as I lay on my side. Dawson, Dave,
  2255. and I formed the first survey team, and Matthew and Rob joined Carlin on a
  2256. second. Dawson picked up instrument reading skills after just a few shots.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2257. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2258. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2259. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2260. From the first real room, our survey led us into a
  2261. bellycrawl (of course) that opened up into crawlway with nice formations. I was
  2262. able to squeeze past the formations and continue all the way to a tight dead
  2263. end at the back. As I waited for Dave and Dawson, I noticed that I was in a
  2264. much colder room.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2265. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2266. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2267. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2268. After regrouping, we headed into the big room that Carlin
  2269. spent a good part of the day sketching. We set a station that Rob quickly
  2270. coopted, so we just started our survey a little further down. We surveyed
  2271. nicely decorated walking passage this time but had to step past the pits to a
  2272. lower level. Around a bend Dawson found the Circus Bear Pit down a small hole
  2273. in the wall.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2274. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2275. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2276. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2277. Dawson tried to explore the pit, but his dad claimed dibs.
  2278. As I belayed Dave down Circus Bear Pit, I noticed that this room also felt
  2279. quite chilly. Apparently every lead I was finding led us closer to the snowy
  2280. hillside. After completing our survey, Dave and Dawson learned how to use their
  2281. camera while I poked down to the lower level. It should be fun to survey the
  2282. interlocking passages down there.&lt;br /&gt;

  2298. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  2299. Dave and I also looked up the passage where the other team
  2300. would survey and heard serious running water. The other team told us that it
  2301. led to a major pool of water that may have been twelve feet deep.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  2305. On Sunday we took a sport trip to Cave Ridge with Tanya
  2306. McLaughlin. I went first into &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Boxwork
  2307. Crystal Cave&lt;/b&gt; and showed everyone why the cave is misnamed. Cameras were
  2308. pulled out, so we spent some time there. While everyone was exiting, I ran over
  2309. to &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Radon Cave&lt;/b&gt; just far enough to
  2310. find out that it still seems to be quite open and had not silted shut.&lt;br /&gt;

I was privileged to survey with Brian and Stephanie who are always hilarious and fun to cave with. They continue to be a great help in surveying the occasionally awful but frequently rewarding Smyth county cave passage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We started down this passage then eventually handed the horizontal leads to the other team so we could drop the pit. It measured ~40’ deep. There is large passage on one side of the drop which will require a bolt climb to access. Brian tried to free climb into it without success. He was on belay, but at one point fell about 5&#39; directly onto Stephanie. Not one to give up, he kept trying until a large formation he&#39;d slung easily broke off when he tried to weight it. Not good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It took us a long time to figure out how we were going to rig. The top of the drop is narrow which initially made us nervous about getting suck on the climb, we exited without much effort. We surveyed a few stations to the bottom of the drop but will need to survey the room. There are a couple of bolt climbing leads here, and a going downstream lead. It was here that we found the best part of my weekend. A bunch of small clean rimstone pools filled with salamander larvae. There must have been at least 30 salamanders. So beautiful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Everyone else either had to leave, or was still tired after what we&#39;d done the last couple of days. We opted to start a new cave survey. With our main projects of the last year running out of easy work, we need to keep the survey queue filled. I’d prefer to avoid the shock we had after the Cold Sink survey finished at the same time as our other projects. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The survey Sunday was just Dave and myself, and we only had a few hours so it was a brief trip. Of everything we have going on, it’s probably the easiest to access, and the easiest to survey. The entrance is small, but I expect Ken will fit, and I also imagine Tanya will enjoy working this cave. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  2812. It’s always great to plan a long
  2813. weekend of Smyth County caving around New Years. We get to see such a variety
  2814. of new caves, and the weather is often good enough to get in some ridgewalking
  2815. too. Friday morning started with a long drive to Marion but finished with us
  2816. headed for &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Rail Valley Cave&lt;/b&gt; on a
  2817. chilly morning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2818. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2819. This insurgence shouldn’t be too
  2820. bad to survey (in a drought), but I couldn’t decide if it was worse setting
  2821. survey stations in the freezing stream or the animal scat. When the water
  2822. started running up my side, I couldn’t figure out how to set a station that
  2823. would keep the five of us dry. Carlin Kartchner and Dave Duguid were
  2824. disappointed that I called the first survey trip of the weekend, but I wanted
  2825. to be sure that Joel Johnson wouldn’t run screaming from us on his first wild
  2826. caving trip.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2827. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2828. As a drizzle began, Tanya
  2829. McLaughlin led us to the northern end of the county to look for some newly
  2830. reported caves. The search for the Nebo Fire Station #2 kept us driving around
  2831. for a while with our heads craning toward the wet car windows. Eventually we
  2832. spotted possible cave entrances across Bear Creek.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2833. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2834. A bridge further down allowed us
  2835. a dry way to cross the creek but left a steep hillside between the cave
  2836. entrances and us. We were treated to some icicle waterfalls, then Carlin, Joel,
  2837. and I joined Dave near the cave entrances.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
  2838. &lt;/span&gt;They thought they found an underwater boardwalk to a creekside entrance,
  2839. but I decided it was more likely a washed out bridge.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2840. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2841. Martin Groenewegen joined us
  2842. late Friday night so that he could cave in &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Snow
  2843. Cone Cave&lt;/b&gt; on Saturday. As we arrived in the Big Room, his cave pack smelled
  2844. like tomato juice but that aroma was later replaced (ask Joel for details).
  2845. Joel, Dave, Martin, and I descended all the way to the blowing lead at the
  2846. bottom of the cave to continue the survey. It took a few stations of readings
  2847. to get into a rhythm, and we sent Martin off to dig at a muddy hole where the
  2848. air was blowing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2849. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2850. Joel learned how to read survey
  2851. instruments very quickly and then we turned to face the mud monster that Martin
  2852. had grown into. Martin’s progress through a cubic yard of muddy clay made it
  2853. possible for Dave to squeeze further back into passage. It actually opened up
  2854. to a size that everyone but me would be able to fit through. Fortunately they
  2855. stuck with me.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2856. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2857. We headed over to the bolted
  2858. climb where Carlin was rigging a pit with Brian Williams and Steph Petri.
  2859. Carlin claimed the dry route to the edge of the pit for his survey team and
  2860. asked us to survey the stream leads beneath. We surveyed along narrow wet
  2861. passages as Carlin’s team dropped down the pit. Then we surveyed their dry
  2862. passage while they explored the base of the pit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2863. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2864. It led back to the Dalmation
  2865. Formations, a room of mud-colored tites, mites, and flowstone covered in white
  2866. popcorn spots. Beyond that we kept surveying until I couldn’t fit. Dave threw a
  2867. piece of survey tape forward, and we later found that it had sprung from a
  2868. tight lead low in the cave.&lt;/div&gt;
  2869. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2870. Great winter weather greeted us
  2871. again on Sunday, so Joel, Tanya, and I hiked up Beaver Creek to find a
  2872. promising cave dig, a quarry, and many springs.&lt;/div&gt;
  2873. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 6.0pt;&quot;&gt;
  2874. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  2876. dozed off. Tanya entered the room to let me know that Macadoo’s is open early
  2877. mornings. Emily, Ava, Martin, Pete, Anuj, and I discovered that Macadoo’s
  2878. restaurant is open at 8 AM but not with a breakfast menu. We managed to
  2879. meet Glen, Anays, Ryan, Steve, and the Molnar crew only a half hour late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2880. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2881. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2882. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2883. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2884. Ryan led the crew carrying water into &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Hancock Cave&lt;/b&gt;. It’s the first time I’ve been with a group hauling
  2885. water into a cave to create mud. Mud making was exactly what we needed to do
  2886. inside the cave. Graffiti covered some walls between the Grantham and Octopus
  2887. Rooms, but it was mostly just scratched lettering and not spray paint. So
  2888. Emily, Kim, Sophie, and Ava got to making mud pies that they smeared against
  2889. the walls. They left the graffiti not only covered but also looking again like
  2890. a natural wall. The rest of us were using wire brushes and having less success
  2891. at hiding our removal efforts. I think that Emily needs to share some sculpting
  2892. tips with the TriTrogs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2893. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2894. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2895. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2896. Then I wandered off with the mudpie crew to count bats. This
  2897. was by far the most disappointing endeavor of the day. Our crew shone bright
  2898. lights at the ceiling, poked into all the cracks, and explored most of the
  2899. passages where we typically find bats. Nada. Pete’s crew found one bat all day,
  2900. and Steve’s crew found none.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It
  2901. sounds as though Steve’s crew wandered into the vertical maze where bats
  2902. would’ve been hard to spot anyhow.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2903. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2904. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2905. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2906. We did have a great time caving though. Sophie led us into
  2907. the Anastamoses Maze where she saw someone had dropped a flashlight down a hole
  2908. out of reach. From Harrington Hall, we traveled up In the Pendants Hall and
  2909. then towards the Long Room. Much giggling as the girls dove into the Comic Book
  2910. Hole followed by Emily finding her center of gravity.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2911. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2912. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2913. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2914. Next we crossed up to the passage just before the Overlook
  2915. Room and then down the Corn Cob Crawl. I seemed to get the best echoes just
  2916. before Hickory Dickory Pit (where Ava lost her pants), and then we explored
  2917. some of the area above TJ’s Trap (after Ava re-dressed). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2918. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2919. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2920. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2921. The Breakdown Staircase offered a new challenge this time.
  2922. Kim dropped Emily’s bright orange pack, but it didn’t fall to the bottom. It
  2923. landed on a breakdown piece about fifteen feet from the floor. As I tried to
  2924. convince myself that any rock that could hold the pack would support my weight,
  2925. Ava shared “I can see it.” I was very happy that she found a position where I
  2926. could reach the pack from below.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2927. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2928. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2929. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2930. We cleaned up the graffiti cleanup gear and headed out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  2932. Pete Hertl and I made some bad choices about the best route
  2933. out of the Triangle but arrived in time for the midnight tour of the Bat Ranch.
  2934. The next morning I spent time talking to the scout troop from Holly Springs
  2935. that was visiting for a cave trip. Eventually Pete woke up, and we spirited Ava
  2936. Pope off to &lt;b&gt;New River Cave&lt;/b&gt; for a survey trip.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2937. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2938. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2939. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2940. Now that the cave is owned by the NSS, some spelunkers
  2941. must’ve decided that the cave deserves their exploration. Too bad the
  2942. spelunkers ran out of green string before they got to a junction.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2943. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2944. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2945. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2946. We headed back to the Attic Room for our survey leads,
  2947. stopping when Pete wanted to admire the various piles of scat. I knew where the
  2948. leads were but had some difficulty finding the tie-in station. We surveyed into
  2949. a room surrounded by breakdown whose entrance was beneath a flowstone bank. As
  2950. the survey twisted around the blocks, we dropped deeper into the jumble. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2951. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2952. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2953. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  2954. Pete climbed up a shaft that I could encircle and shake his
  2955. hand from three different sides.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That
  2956. also let me know where we would need to survey next. We found the easy way to
  2957. survey to the top of the breakdown and connect in with a known survey station. And
  2958. Ava did fine reading the instruments while standing over a pit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3312. The last lead was just an annoying survey that led into
  3313. another chamber beneath the breakdown. The survey totaled just 280 feet but
  3314. completes (?) the survey in the upper cave. After that survey we headed out for
  3315. a late Mexican dinner and then a very late night drive home.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3317. “I think Ken can get in through the squeeze, but I’m not
  3318. sure he can get back out.” These words don’t inspire me to sign up for a trip
  3319. with Carlin and Dave, so I invited Tanya McLaughlin to help me survey in &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Saltville Quarry Cave&lt;/b&gt; last Saturday. I
  3320. was happy to hear that Brian Williams had sent her a new wetsuit because she’d
  3321. want to wear it in the passage where I was leading her.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3322. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3323. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3324. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3325. The landowner was very friendly and pointed us to two other
  3326. hillside cave entrances, but we were ready to survey the big stream lead I had
  3327. looked at last December. Unfortunately Tanya didn’t bring her new wetsuit along.
  3328. Underground I was much happier than her in my new neoprene pants (purchased at
  3329. a sidewalk sale).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3330. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3331. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3332. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3333. The cold water was just over knee deep for me, but the
  3334. problem was that Tanya and I sank into the mud if we stayed in one place too
  3335. long. Take a survey shot, take three steps back, and then approach again to
  3336. light the station for the other reader. Fortunately the seventh survey shot
  3337. landed Tanya back up on a solid bank.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3338. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3339. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3340. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3341. Unfortunately that’s where the water got deeper. I walked
  3342. back to the entrance so Tanya could warm up, and then I sketched the section
  3343. for those seven survey shots. Normally I’d like to sketch as I go along, but
  3344. juggling gloves, instruments, tape, protractor, ruler, book, and reading
  3345. glasses would’ve been tough when there were few dry ledges for stuff. Tanya
  3346. warmed up out in the summer sun.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3347. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3348. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3349. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3350. After I finished sketching, Tanya wanted to find a drier
  3351. passage, cave, or county. We walked to the cave entrance where the landowner
  3352. had seen fog rolling out in the winter. I didn’t quite fit into the entrance. I
  3353. hauled up the hill through poison ivy bushes to find the other destination
  3354. where the owner had spotted a cave. It turned out to just be an eight-foot deep
  3355. talus cave. I dug open a cave above the quarry’s spring. It was just two body
  3356. lengths long.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3357. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3358. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3359. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3360. Tanya conceded that I had made a good faith effort at
  3361. finding dry cave, so she agreed to re-enter the stream passage long enough to
  3362. get a few more stations. The second time in she noticed how white and well
  3363. decorated the cave was a few feet above the water level. I had no time to look
  3364. around while in the deep part of the passage; I thought my wellies would fill
  3365. with mud.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3366. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3367. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3368. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3369. The cave just got prettier as I moved on back, and I was
  3370. delighted to find a pair of spring salamanders and a pair of crayfish
  3371. underwater. Numerous cave salamanders clung to the side walls. Tanya and I both
  3372. elected to stop after a few more shots, and I arrived at an intersection.
  3373. Unfortunately the only good station was one that I had to reach on tiptoes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3374. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3375. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3376. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3377. On Sunday I convinced Mike Broome to continue surveying that
  3378. same stream passage (the side passage dead ended after a few shots). We progressed
  3379. all the way back to the sump.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then I
  3380. sketched the plan view while Mike collected cross sections.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3381. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3382. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3383. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3384. On the way out, Mike found a side lead I had overlooked the
  3385. day before, but we were too cold to survey it at the time. We beat a hasty
  3386. retreat for the entrance and happened across Carlin Kartchner, Dave Duguid, and
  3387. Lisa Lorenzin. They had surveyed their way from a tight lead to the too-tight
  3388. entrance.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3389. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3390. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3391. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3392. After I warmed up a bit, I took Carlin and Dave back in to
  3393. survey out Mike’s lead. Their rewards included well decorated passage, a spring
  3394. salamander, and wet crotches. Overall we surveyed in Saltville Quarry Cave just
  3395. under 800 feet more over the weekend, tripling the length and finishing the
  3396. survey.&lt;/div&gt;
  3397. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3398. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3400.  
  3401. &lt;br /&gt;
  3402. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3403. Missed Opportunity is a cave better done with warm days to
  3404. avoid getting too cold when exiting the cave.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
  3405. &lt;/span&gt;Reason, the front of the cave requires a stream belly crawl.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On July 26, the belly crawl was traversed by
  3406. four neoprene clad cavers; Mike Broome, Lisa Lorenzin, Carlin Kartchner, and I.&lt;/div&gt;
  3407. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3408. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3409. The survey objective was to stay out of the stream passage
  3410. by continuing to survey the high leads; methodically choosing the left most
  3411. lead.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The lead let immediately into a
  3412. low passage and remained low for quite some time; alternating between hands and
  3413. knees crawling and bell crawls.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However
  3414. there was very little complaining from anyone as the passage was very well
  3415. decorated.&lt;br /&gt;
  3416.  
  3417.  
  3418. &lt;br /&gt;
  3419. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3420. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  3421. &lt;br /&gt;
  3422. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3423. With repetitive 30ft shots the survey team of three got
  3424. ahead of the sketcher burning through pencils drawing in a plethora of &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;Speleothems.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The sketcher didn’t even catch up after the
  3425. survey team enjoyed a guilt free lunch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3426. &lt;br /&gt;
  3427. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3428. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3429. &lt;br /&gt;
  3430. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3431. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;The left wall
  3432. eventually terminated with a parallel lead going back the way we came.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was determined it would be best to stop
  3433. survey at this point and exit the cave.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
  3434. day resulted in just less than 1000ft of new passage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3435. &lt;br /&gt;
  3436. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3437. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3440. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;No sooner had we
  3441. pulled onto the main road, Ken and Tanya caught up with us.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They had been surveying Saltville Quarry cave
  3442. near-by.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Their survey efforts did not
  3443. complete the cave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3449. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;Over an Italian
  3450. meal, we determined returning to Saltville Quarry to try and complete the
  3451. remaining leads was the best option for Sunday.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
  3452. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3453. &lt;br /&gt;

  3458. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;Ken and Mike took
  3459. the wet lead while Carlin, Lisa, and I headed to the low tight lead.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The lead of interest was a low lead that got
  3460. even lower and is impassible within some cave modification.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Opting out of alternation, Carlin found
  3461. another passage that had blowing air.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
  3462. &lt;/span&gt;With a bit of scooping he reported seeing daylight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3463. &lt;br /&gt;
  3464. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;

  3467. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3468. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;Our survey
  3469. initiated, and led us through 138ft of low, sometime tight, and generally muddy
  3470. passage toward the other entrance.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
  3471. &lt;/span&gt;Stepping into daylight, the entrance was the other cave Ken pointed out
  3472. early.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3473. &lt;br /&gt;
  3474. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;

  3478. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;Again, timing was
  3479. good; we ran into Ken and Mike at the first cave entrance warming up.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Ken and Mike had finished the other passage
  3480. but found an additional, terminating lead while exiting,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3481. &lt;br /&gt;
  3482. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3483. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3484. &lt;br /&gt;
  3485. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3486. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;With Mike and
  3487. Lisa needing to get on the road; Ken, Carlin, and I headed back to wrap up the
  3488. remaining lead.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;While known the passage
  3489. was wet, the thigh deep water was cold; colder than the stream in Missed Opportunity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3490. &lt;br /&gt;
  3491. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3492. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3493. &lt;br /&gt;
  3494. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  3495. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN;&quot;&gt;The side passage
  3496. led to an additional 66ft; while Ken was wrapping up the sketch, Carlin and I
  3497. waded to the end of the passage.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
  3498. passage is actually well decorated; taking the trek back despite facing the
  3499. ever increasing water level was worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We were there to finish the last good lead in that cave. It was exactly one year from the last time we visited this cave. Part of the reason it took so long to get back inside was due to all the other good caves we started surveying last summer. The other major reason was a lack of gear. Bolting gear to be more specific.&lt;br /&gt;
  3501. &lt;br /&gt;
  3502. On our first trip there Brian Williams set a bolt by hand to get things started up to a nice looking high walking passage, but bolting this whole traverse by hand drill would have taken forever. One year later, having acquired all the hardware and electrons necessary to get this traverse done right we headed in just the two of us. We&#39;d had a much larger group for the survey the day before, but most were not vertical and those who were left early to get back to NC. This left just two of us hauling in 300&#39; of rope along with everything else needed to make a bolting+survey trip happen. 100&#39; static for the traverse, 100&#39; dynamic for the belay, and 150 (way to much) for the Heinous Complainus Pit. This isn&#39;t counting the rope needed for the 50&#39; entrance drop. In summary, a lot of heavy stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
  3503. &lt;br /&gt;
  3504. Working the traverse was a challenge. It was my first time bolting a traverse and it was exciting. I set 5 bolts to get safely to the other side and another two at the end for a final solid anchor. Not a ton of bolts, but I was fighting mud much of the time. Once across, I got off belay and checked to see if we would have the great going lead we hoped for. Alas, as expected, shortly around a bend the passage abruptly ended. although it was open walking passage the floor was ankle deep wet mud and the passage only went for ~70&#39;. We surveyed three shots for a grand total of 886&#39; in the included survey length. Derigging the dynamic line and retrieving all he quickdraws also required a fair amount of ingenuity and speleoacrobatics.&lt;br /&gt;
  3505. &lt;br /&gt;
  3506. So why would I never send my friends to this passage? Well it&#39;s not just because it went no where. Everything starting at the Heinous Complainus pit is not much fun. Lot&#39;s of loose falling rock at the Complainus pit, gross nasty mud everywhere in that passage. On the traverse much of the material that looks like rock is just mud in disguise. Coming out we were exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;
  3507. &lt;br /&gt;
  3508. This exhaustion was probably due to a multitude of factors including the fact that we&#39;d had a full day of non-trivial survey the day before. Both Dave and I could have eaten and drunk more that day as well. I guess we were both trying to conserve a little weight. I wasn&#39;t hungry at all, but when we stopped at subway afterward I devoured a footlong sub even though I&#39;d intended to save half when I ordered it. I&#39;ve decided my body was probably sending mixed signals due to the &quot;fun&quot; I&#39;d just had. Still want to see the new passage I bolted into? We left a static line for the traverse, but if you ask me, don&#39;t bother.&lt;br /&gt;
  3509. &lt;br /&gt;
  3510. (Sorry for no pics this time. It was a beautiful day on the surface, but I didn&#39;t want to haul any extra photo gear for this one. Matthew may have a good story about photo gear to share on this blog soon though.)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tritrogs.blogspot.com/feeds/8264077102158552629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30407860&amp;postID=8264077102158552629' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30407860/posts/default/8264077102158552629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30407860/posts/default/8264077102158552629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tritrogs.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-passage-i-would-never-send-my.html' title='The passage I would never send my friends to.'/><author><name>Carlin Kartchner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04443550566639867057</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR48YK2ZZH-wcqtNA3OSxBIv5VtLhAymNdQ0IxBrUN2VP3mRJI05GRVMYEwPWWlUsM0pZ7B3puL46rb96eVWIJ2h-dKlN_Kk9GgjUKOESOCXHGf4_uU5UVcEgN6BhHI-Y/s62/TongueOutThumbsUp.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30407860.post-4295115010184281611</id><published>2014-03-16T19:40:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2014-03-16T19:40:45.139-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Clean at the Start, or When Electronics Go Bad</title><content type='html'>

  3850. Dave West led another survey trip to &lt;b&gt;New River Cave&lt;/b&gt; and
  3851. managed to scrape up eight other willing souls. Before the trip, he shared what
  3852. the draft map looks like. It’s incredible that he’s found an artistic way to
  3853. lay out all the levels in an understandable manner. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3855. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3856. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3857. Dave had Karen Willmes and me join him as he sketched cross
  3858. sections from the entrance to the Attic Room.&amp;nbsp;My job was to keep Karen company while Dave worked. As we entered the
  3859. cave, I’m happy to report that the walls TriTrogs cleaned several months ago
  3860. still appear graffiti-free.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3863. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3864. Before we even got to the Register Room, Dave dropped his
  3865. disto electronic distance finder from a height of roughly six inches. It
  3866. wouldn’t work again, even with fresh batteries. Suddenly Dave’s cross sections
  3867. got much harder for him to draw. He now needed Karen and me to pull a tape
  3868. measure across the cross sectional diagonals. I think that they averaged about
  3869. 35 degrees in inclination and roughly fifty feet along the diagonals. I spent a good deal of
  3870. time on the perches.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3871. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3872. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3873. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  3874. When we got to the back of the Attic Room, we also added
  3875. some resurvey so that Dave would have a better idea of how disparate previous surveys
  3876. reconciled. I guess it turned out that I was more essential when electronic
  3877. devices fail.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  3881. the National Speleological Society will acquire New River Cave. The
  3882. TriTrogs can be proud after last year’s cleanup that the cave entrance area will be clean at
  3883. the start of the NSS ownership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Part of the thrill of cave survey is the chance to document something no human has ever seen before, but if someone has already “surveyed” a cave that puts a slight damper on the motivation. Having heard that Perkins was being resurveyed I figured I’d join in on a trip because I knew getting into that cave often involves jumping through a few hoops. Knowing also that nearly 10 miles were mapped in the original survey had me skeptical there would be much low hanging fruit. Turns out I was wrong. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3900. &lt;br /&gt;
  3901. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

It was sunny, but between Greensboro and Winston-Salem there was a lot of ice, and I may have passed more accidents that morning than I’d passed in total in my life before this trip. Needless to say it was a bit unnerving, but soon after I’d decided I was going to call Jason and head home, things started clearing up, and after around Pilot mountain things cleared up so much so that most of Virginia seemed relatively dry with no snow or ice seen anywhere. Ultimately I met up safely with everyone, we piled our gear in Bill’s truck and we were off. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Once there we split into two small survey groups, but were working fairly near each other. My team was just two people consisting of myself sketching and doing foresights while Bill set stations and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  3916. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.15;&quot;&gt;read backsights. We started with a side lead that was basically just a debris blocked passage parallel to the 200’ crawl on the old trade route. This wasn&#39;t too interesting until we made a voice connection with the other team. We found by moving a few rocks we were able to make a tight surveyed connection to the other team. Pretty cool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  3917. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

We were excited the whole day about surveying it, but we never got to it. Bill explored a lead on the other side of the down climb into that canyon which he thought we’d finish in 3 stations. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We ultimately made a couple loop closures and killed a few leads which we connected to in another part of the cave. It was pretty thrilling and it’s highly likely that most of that area was virgin. It was all low crawling, but never was it terribly uncomfortable. Most of the survey shots were easy to sight in both directions. We surveyed everything in our area leaving no new leads, but never did get to that canyon passage. Even though Bill and I still had the energy to keep going we had a relatively early call out time so we packed up and headed out around 9pm. This was fine as I was still tired the next day though that may just be because I forgot about the DST change when I set my alarm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She’d opened her home for me and even made me breakfast in the morning which I thought was especially kind. It was nice to be able to hang out for a while one-on-one since I’m usually over there with a relatively large party. The downside to being there without other Trogs was that Bo could not be handed over to someone else so I spent a lot of time petting that demanding beast. Possibly the hardest thing I did all trip. It was a good weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  4290. I had to postpone the Walker Mountain Grotto (WMG) bat count
  4291. in &lt;b&gt;Hancock Cave&lt;/b&gt; by two weeks due to
  4292. a 2014 snowstorm. Fortunately that allowed Pete Hertl to join Matthew Weiss and
  4293. me.&amp;nbsp; I’m glad I had them along because
  4294. the shift in dates left us with just Hunter from WMG and Janet and Dan from
  4295. Flittermaus Grotto. A bat count is better with six in the group.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4296. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4297. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4298. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4299. Hunter lived up to his name and found it easy to spot the
  4300. bats in the cave. We circled through the rooms that we explore on each bat
  4301. count and waited for the folks with cameras. We even forced Pete, Matthew and
  4302. Hunter to climb through the Comic Book Hole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I was very happy to
  4306. find no dead bats in the cave, and the bats all appeared healthy until the end.
  4307. Unfortunately the last bat we found hanging near the Toilet Bowls had definite
  4308. signs of white nose syndrome. Hopefully it’ll survive until hibernation season
  4309. is over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;

  4314. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4315. Waking up to single digits it was clear the ground to the cave would be frozen solid; the ground conditions put the landowner at ease.  As we headed over Walker Mountain the snow started; it was immediately clear any additional snow would result in the return trip would be through the mountain gap in Chilhowie.&lt;br /&gt;
  4316. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4317. Having been suited up, we hurried into the cave and immediately felt the temperature relief.  A quick show and tell of the “snow cone” put us at our first lead.  To get warmed up I thought walking passage would be a good place to start, and it was the biggest hole in the current sketch.
  4318.  
  4319. Five shots later we were 230ft into new passage headed back toward the hillside we entered yet another vast room; the third large room.  After surveying the room we hammed it up for a couple of photographs and retreated back to the hole in the floor we left.&lt;br /&gt;
  4320. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4321. The passage was the smallest passage of the day though it opens up after a few small sections.  Once through the small stuff we called the survey.  We left walking passage yet to survey!  It already has me wanted to get back to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
  4322. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4323. Returning to the surface yielded a couple more inches of snow and bitter cold.  Fortunately Howard brought along a propane heater!  It is amazing how fast you can get into street clothes when motivated.  Soon we were driving out of the property and onto the snow covered roads.&lt;br /&gt;
  4324. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4325. The Italian restaurant was already closed by 7:30; we opted to McAdoo’s instead.  From inside we watched it continue to snow heavily.  I mention that because we getting back to my truck, the driver window was “missing” and snow inside.  Initially thinking the glass shattered, the window ended up down in the door.  However the window would not go up, nor could we reach it to pull it up.  What a cold ride back to Tanya’s.
  4326.  
  4327. At Tanya’s we pulled the panel off and was able to get the window closed.  It was so cold Duck tape frozen before it would adhere to the cold window.&lt;br /&gt;
  4328. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4329. Sunday morning brought a balmy 30 degrees and getting the window fixed enough to get back to Raleigh was not such a miserable experience.  Fortunately, once on route 81, the roads were dry and driving uneventful.&lt;br /&gt;
  4330. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  4331.  
  4332. The single lead resulted in 485ft of survey and four additional leads.  The sketch looks more complete with the work done, but the cave has already left us wanting to return to continue.  The cave has far exceeded by expectations; in size and in beauty.  The current surveyed distance is approximately 2000ft.

  4673. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Even with Pete’s sleeping bag, I was somehow able to see out
  4674. the rearview window of my vehicle as Rob Harris, Sarah Dotson, Pete Hertl, and
  4675. I traveled together to Marion. The traffic was backed up in Greensboro. We
  4676. spent the night at Tanya McLaughlin’s home with the intent to go caving on Saturday.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4677. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  4679. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4680. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;After a leisurely breakfast we started out for Saltville
  4681. Quarry Cave, but I encouraged Tanya to try to reach another landowner first.
  4682. That resulted in a quick directional change just a hundred yards from Tanya’s
  4683. house. Then we discovered the likely carsick victim and moved the person to the
  4684. front seat…and we were finally off to &lt;b&gt;Linda’s
  4685. Lair&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Within sight of a house built
  4686. circa 1830, the cave entrance had been covered in brambles but was definitely
  4687. human-sized. I stood in the rain pulling brambles up from the slide-in entrance
  4688. while the other four went inside. It led into a room at the base where everyone
  4689. could stand, but the dirt fill suggested we weren’t going any deeper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4690. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

  4692. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4693. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Garbage bags covered the seats in my vehicle, and we headed
  4694. for &lt;b&gt;Saltville Quarry Cave&lt;/b&gt;. Tanya
  4695. charmed the landowner’s son into giving us permission to map the cave, and we
  4696. set off through a pouring storm in 36-degree weather. The cave entrance was so
  4697. much warmer.&amp;nbsp; Of course they sent me scouting
  4698. down the wet passage because I wore wellies that day; high boots didn’t help
  4699. much when the water depth reached my knees.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4700. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4701. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4702. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4703. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Fortunately the lead on the left took us to a drier, higher
  4704. passage. I set survey stations and worked with Rob at mapping the entrance room
  4705. while the others goofed around in the warmer passage. A tight crawlway led us
  4706. up into a well-decorated hallway, and our whole group surveyed all the way to
  4707. the end…well, to the spot where it got too tight for me. Pete and Sarah learned surveying fast. Rob managed to squeeze
  4708. under a ledge to some “going” passage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4709. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  4710. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4711. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;We surveyed about 435 feet in Saltville Quarry
  4712. Cave that day and still have the wet hallway to explore. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It was a cave worth seeing, but my coveralls
  4713. smelled pretty bad after the trip. I wish that I had an outdoor place to clean
  4714. them in December.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  5055. This year’s bat count at &lt;b&gt;Hancock Cave&lt;/b&gt; started a bit shaky. I
  5056. wasn’t sure who was coming and going as the week progressed, but Mike Broome and
  5057. Lisa Lorenzin stepped forward at the last minute to help. Jenny Hundertmark,
  5058. Mike, Lisa, and I stayed at Tanya McLaughlin’s house Friday night. On Saturday
  5059. morning we met the campers: Matt Lubin, Matt Weiss, Matt Nelson, Steve Molnar,
  5060. Ashland Nelson, and about six scouts. Having Matt Jenkins along just would’ve
  5061. confused us more.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5062. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5063. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5064. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5065. After the entrance climbs, we split into two groups in
  5066. search of bats in the same rooms we’ve checked in past Novembers’ counts (since
  5067. WNS was discovered there in 2009). My group seemed to enjoy clambering around
  5068. while looking up at the ceiling. Matt N. dove into every hole I’d point out,
  5069. and Matt L., Jenny, and the scouts followed him willingly into most of them.
  5070. The squeeze out to Hickory Dickory Pit was one the adults enjoyed while the
  5071. scouts stayed with me in the Echo Chamber.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5072. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5073. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5074. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5075. We found three different bat species, and the other team
  5076. also located a few bats that we didn’t see. &amp;nbsp;Both groups had to negotiate past the one at
  5077. the base of the Corn Cob Crawl. The count was roughly the same as last year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5078. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5079. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  5081. temperatures first, so we donned our orange vests and hiked over to &lt;b&gt;Little
  5082. Hancock Cave&lt;/b&gt; (no bats there). The walls were alive with harvestmen so thick
  5083. that the walls seemed to be moving. After a short search, they were able to
  5084. find the Peacock Entrance to Hancock Cave (no bats there). We went back to the
  5085. cars, changed clothes, examined the map, called into the cave for the other
  5086. team, and eventually helped them exit. Next time we should remember to
  5087. coordinate exit times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;

Usually we aim for something in Smyth county, but we had a hard time coming up with a good candidate over there this year, which is a good thing, so we instead headed off to New River Cave on a tip from Ken Walsh. We all drove up to the nearby Bat Ranch on Friday night and had a rather quiet night camping under the clouds and stars. Mike was asleep when many of us arrived and Ava, who was very helpful in making sure we were taken care of, was out of town. &lt;br /&gt;
  5092. &lt;br /&gt;
  5093. The trip was pretty straight forward. Hike up steep hill, clean graffiti, pick up trash, have fun, get tired, turn around, exit cave, hike down steep hill. Am I forgetting anything? We had a nice turn out with 11 cavers coming, many of whom it was only their first or second time underground. Hopefully some of them will be back for more because caving is awesome. (Cave survey is especially cool ;p)&lt;br /&gt;

  5471. Saturday morning Diana Gietl and I scoped out &lt;b&gt;Culverson
  5472. Creek Cave&lt;/b&gt; (Wildcat Entrance) for a future photography trip. We were joined by
  5473. Karen Willmes and Dave West, two of my best friends who happened to arrive at
  5474. VAR/YTR the night before just minutes behind us.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5475. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5476. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5477. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5478. Diana saw many potential places to shoot photos on a future
  5479. day. We slipped down the entrance climb into a stoopway that soon became
  5480. walking height, and then we had high ceilings for the rest of the trip (not
  5481. counting Dave’s side leads).&amp;nbsp; The
  5482. entrance passage eventually dumped us into the main stream, and we headed
  5483. upstream first to wide passages (and eventually a sump). Be warned that a
  5484. misstep in this area could leave you in mud up to your knee.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5485. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5486. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5487. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5488. Downstream travel was less muddy but more wet.&amp;nbsp; I felt foolish taking some extra time
  5489. skirting one pool, but I remembered it as a necessary maneuver in order to stay
  5490. dry. &amp;nbsp;Diana found it trickier on the way
  5491. out and found herself sliding into the creek up to waist deep.&amp;nbsp; The best treat was a number of Northern
  5492. Spring Salamanders, in addition to the white crayfish.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5493. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5494. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5495. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5496. While Diana napped after the short cave trip, Karen, Dave,
  5497. and I wandered down to the entrance to Poor Farm Cave at the far end of the
  5498. property. Karen and I joined George Dasher from there to walk off in search of the lost entrance for&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Rimstone Falls Cave&lt;/b&gt;. Unfortunately we stopped at the electric fence so missed
  5499. out on the cave.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5500. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5501. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5502. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5503. We had a great catered dinner. Diana liked it so much that
  5504. she retrieved her flipped plate from the patio deck and scooped up the whole
  5505. meal.&amp;nbsp; The evening continued with the
  5506. funk music of Septatpus, including a song dedicated to Rob Harris.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  5507. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  5508. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  5510. On Sunday I sat through the VAR meeting and then went back
  5511. to camp to find that the sun’s heat had driven Rob Harris and Diana from their
  5512. tents. I put on fresh caving clothes, and we set off for &lt;b&gt;Poor Farm Cave&lt;/b&gt; for a
  5513. one-hour trip. The coolest thing in Poor Farm Cave was a hidden whistling
  5514. passage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
