[Texascavers] Jewel Cave article

2013-12-08 Thread Mixon Bill

Thanks, Dwight, and especially Lee for the tiny URL that actually works.

But I wouldn't call it a nice article on Jewel Cave. Any article that  
quotes Mike Wiles about geology pretty much automatically isn't. --

Hi, I am a member of the NSS in Arizona but will be in mexico for 6  
months or just about. In AZ I helped to map a couple of caves. I am  
looking to do something similar while I am in Mexico. I am originally  
from Mexico city and speak English and Spanish fluently. If you can  
give me information about this i will appreciate it.


Thanks

[SWR] Follow-up on the NGS Film: Mystery Caves Of Guangxi

2013-12-08 Thread dirtdoc


Follow-up on the NGS Film: Mystery Caves Of Guangxi 



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiYn-DeQjL8 



For additional maps, cross-sections, and photographs of the spectacular Leye 
Karst, including Mawangdong Cave, Bandong Tienkeng, and the through-cave 
photographed in this movie, see page 3 of the Leye-Fengshan Geopark, Sanmenhai 
Karst Tourguide 



http://www.naturalarches.org/files/LeyeFengshanGeoparkChina.pdf 



Cavers will find this additional data interesting. 



Videographers will better appreciate the skill of those manning the camera and 
doing the editing. At the time this film was shot, the Leye-Fengshan Geopark 
was well-developed for tourism. It must have been a real challenge NOT to show 
more of the tourist trails, stairs, guardrails, roads, and other developments 
in the finished film. It also appears that the (mysterious) origin of the 
huge collapse dolines featured in the film was well explained in 
English-language interpretive signs and brochures to be read by visitors 
(including the National Geographic Explorers) at the time they visited the 
caves and shot the film. 



FYI: The National Geographic Channel (NGC) is jointly owned by Fox Cable 
Networks and National Geographic Television  Film. They are acknowledged as 
producing documentaries with factual content and pseudo-scientific 
entertainment programming on NGC (Wikipedia). This film appears to be a 
documentary enhanced with exaggerated mystery and danger. 



My contacts in China point out that the video is providing lots of publicity 
for the Leye-Fengshan Geopark, which is likely to make it easier (but probably 
more expensive) for future expeditions to get permission to cave in those 
areas.

Actually, the case I was thinking of _was_ in Kentucky in 1929:  
Edwards v. Sims 232 Ky. 791, 24 S.W.2d 619 (1929). The question was  
really whether neighboring landowner should be permitted to survey  
Great Onyx Cave to verify whether or not it went under his land, but  
the assumption was that if it did, he could forbid showing that part  
of the cave. Appears to be a famous case; Google finds 324,000 hits  
for Edwards v Sims. I have a photocopy of the appeals court  
decision, including a dissent, that is pages 58 to 63 in some unknown  
(to me) book. The dissent argues that, although indeed one owns the  
land and everything under it to the center of the earth, that  
ownership really only applies to things that the owner can make use  
of. A cave without an entrance on his land wouldn't count. But the  
majority of the appeals court ruled the other way.


No doubt other similar cases have arisen from time to time. -- Mixon

 All,
 I've received a flyer from the NSS Bookstore. I know some of us do not
 have newsletters and I think it missed any pre-Christmas Caver so I would
 like to post it to this list.

 I do not want to post it on the list without checking with everybody
 because it will likely come through as an attachment of 323 KB.

 Will that severely upset anyone for any reason? Jacqui
