[Texascavers] Irish coastal caves

2017-08-07 Thread David via Texascavers
Apparently, there is an enormous amount of sporting fun to be found in
caves along the coast
of Ireland.

( maybe this one is not a typical sea cave ?? )

There seems to be lots more videos like those above, but either in Irish or
or older low-resolution videos.

Preston,

This already HAS opened up lower level passages in Mammoth. There was much talk 
about it at the July 4th CRF Expedition.

FYI-

Yesterday, I stopped by the Brownville Dam on the Green River inside the edge 
of Mammoth Cave Nat'l Park. The dam is completely removed. IMHO this is great 
news. That removal has been talked about for decades and I am sure volumes of 
studies have been made. But, late last year the dam begin to fail on the side 
of the old mud plugged lock. For safety reasons the dam had to be removed fast 
before a sudden huge failure, maybe hurting someone. This spring the project 
began and yesterday was the first chance I have had to see it. The old dam 
backed up water 17 miles and the difference in water levels above and below was 
maybe 4-6 ft.

The dam is gone and only a small rapid is present in the low water conditions. 
I was only there a short time. Some concrete from the dam was piled up 
downstream on the opposite bank and that was about all I saw from the old dam. 
Heavy equipment was on site constructing a gravel parking lot.

This has the potential to open up low levels of the cave for exploration. Dig 
out your wetsuits.

And, two, this will help the mussel population in Green River, already the 
location of some of the rarest mussels in the world. We may join an Owensboro 
Sierra Club outing this coming Sat. at Munsfordville studying Mussels, with a 
PhD mussels specialist.
