Re: [Texascavers] Texas caver Mike Wharton
When Mike lived in Odessa he helped me and a few others get trained to do vertical rope work. I remember his trips into Wizards Well, it was full on go and we never rested but once in 28 hours . He was always a good friend to me and many others, I have some great memories... On 11/22/2021 10:25 PM, Mimi Jasek wrote: So sorry to hear this ☹️ My Jim went caving with Mike on numerous occasions.

Mike was a neighbor out here in Real and Edwards County. He lived on the other side of the Nueches. Mike was a fun fellow. He kept building his own caves on his property.

Re: [Texascavers] Texas caver Mike Wharton
Thanks, Bill. I remember Mike from the ‘70s and/or ‘80s in Texas. I made a couple of trips with him to Wizard’s Well. He was pretty hardcore back in the day. He had a heavy hand sledge that he called Thor. I still use something similar. I also remember an amusing incident from when he found a resurgence cave in Mexico and wanted to name it something or other spring cave in Spanish, but used the word for a mechanical spring instead of a fount of water. I hope he recovers.
