On April 1st, a study will be conducted to determine the exact depth of the entrance pit down to the millimeter. Several truckloads of 5 kilogram rocks will be dropped into the entrance and using an iPhone app to measure the time of impact, and another app to calculate the average depth, the depth will finally be known. Cavers will be needed to move the test samples downstream as to not affect the depth of the pit. Study will be post-lined if there is air-flow, or if the humdity is above 80 %, or if the land-owner or project manager is not appreciative of the idea.

Considering the fact that more full barrels were pulled out of the sink today, I have to assume this is a joke, and to me - one of the diggers - not a funny one. Jim Jasek and Gill Ediger measured depth of present floor today with tape, and Gill will update all with a report later as always. Sore, tired, and happy at a good dig.

[Texascavers] KIWI SINK Dig
KIWI SINK Dig--24 March 2013--Blaine Colton, Gill Ediger, Ernie Garza, Jim Jasek, Mimi Jasek, Terry Raines, John Schneider. We continued to dig away at the above-floor-level-backfill materials in order that we remove as much as possible before also removing the floor of the current work area. Below it lies a mass of clean washed breakdown boulders of unknown extent. Several large rocks were totally or partially exposed and 2 large ones and 2 medium-small ones were hoisted. Today's totals were: 7 Barrels of muck 2 Large rocks 2 Medium-Small rocks (piggy backed on 2 barrels). Several more large rocks are nearly exposed enough to be wrenched out of the surrounding matrix. Thanks to all who participated. --Ediger - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
