He might have gone to a grotto meeting near you at one time. Bill is a
member of the DFW Grotto and a former member of the now-defunct Maverick
Grotto in Ft. Worth where I had met him back in about 2002(?). You may have
also seen him at one of the TSA Spring Conventions or an NSS convention.

That article claims that Meghalaya "harbours some of the longest and deepest 
cave systems in the world." Rather overstated in my opinion, since a check of 
Bob Gulden's World Long Cave list  puts the 
longest cave in India at no. 99 in the world and the second longest at no. 179. 
There are no Indian caves among the 242 in the World Deep list 
.

The western edge, Watertown, has the Black River caves. Closed to due bats, other issues, but I know a couple of folks from the Cornell Grotto who were mapping them in the late 1970's. One member did her part of her geology Master's on the Black River Caves.

[Texascavers] cavers in the news

[David via Texascavers]

a news story from the Adirondacks


On Sept. 21 at 12:23 p.m.

DEC Ray Brook Dispatch received a call from a man reporting that his caving
partner sustained a head injury while caving in Eagle Cave on Chimney
Mountain.

Eight DEC Forest Rangers responded to Chimney Mountain to retrieve the
injured 24-year-old man from Waterville, NY.  New York State Police
Aviation and two Advanced Life Support (ALS) medics also responded from
Lake Clear to a staged location in Indian Lake.  The team rescued the man
from the cave using technical rope system operations.  Once removed from
the cave, Forest Rangers and ALS medics evaluated the man and carried him
out via litter to the NYSP Aviation pick up point.  From there, the
helicopter flew him to the University of Vermont Medical Hospital in
Burlington, VT.

The incident concluded at 8:02 p.m.

From the article: We don't just walk around in the woods and ... Ah!  
There's a cave!


Clearly, I've been doing it wrong. :-)

The article said: ...with a longitude of more than four miles.

 

I think I'd be very careful believing someone who didn't know the difference 
between length and longitude.

It was the reporter (Spanish surname) or translator. It appears that the
article may have been originally in Spanish or Portuguese. The word
longitud means length in Spanish or, perhaps, distance as in English
distance from the Prime Meridian or longitude.--Ediger

[Texascavers] Cavers in the news

[David Locklear]

I don't believe anybody posted this yet, but in the December issue of 
Outside magazine, there is an
article about a caver.

The article discusses a group of people who Outside claims are the best in 
their field.

http://outside.away.com/outside/toc/200512.html

Hazel Barton is the caver, and the article focuses on her micro-biology 
research.

Out of the 25 visionaries that the article discusses, they narrow down to 
only 4 for
the above web-link, which includes Hazel.
