Re: [Texascavers] O9 Well

[David]

All this drama makes me wonder how hard it would be to get a cave rescue
out in that county.  But moreso, a cave accident in that county would
likely lead to some kind of clusterph*ck scenario or worse - some kind of
foobar situatuon.


My excuses for not volunteering are way too lame to mention - only that my
excuses are sadly more lamer than previous excuses in years past.

I still remember being a young kid and having a desire to go cave exploring
back in the 70s.  I never could have imagined all the barriers to keep me
from going - some of which are the same exact reasons that I am not at the
skateboard park right now showing off my wicked tricks ( last skateboard
trick was September of 1982 )

Many years ago that would have been my father's job.  He would not have gone 
down the drop but would have pulled the pipe out with his pickup.  My father 
was Peck Young, the area windmill man.  He installed that Aermotor windmill 
which stands over O9 well and took care of all of the windmills for the Noelke 
family which leases university land in the area.  I was my dad's helper in the 
Summers and I have been to many Noelke windmills but never to O9 well.  I do 
remember that he told me once that he slid down the pipe.  He did not say how 
he got out - probably rode up on the hook at the end of a cable as his helper 
pulled him out with the pickup.

Pardon my nostalgic diversion.  If anyone is interested, I have written up some 
stories about windmilling with my father on our website.  Contact me off of 
TexasCavers and I will send you the link.

[Texascavers] O9 Well

[Sam Young via Texascavers]

I was wondering about the business at O9 Well.  Did someone get down 
there and clean the broken rods out of the pipe?


Many years ago that would have been my father's job.  He would not have 
gone down the drop but would have pulled the pipe out with his pickup.  
My father was Peck Young, the area windmill man.  He installed that 
Aermotor windmill which stands over O9 well and took care of all of the 
windmills for the Noelke family which leases university land in the 
area.  I was my dad's helper in the Summers and I have been to many 
Noelke windmills but never to O9 well.  I do remember that he told me 
once that he slid down the pipe.  He did not say how he got out - 
probably rode up on the hook at the end of a cable as his helper pulled 
him out with the pickup.
