Mike Boon fans: For years to come, there will be cavers around a campfire
somewhere spinning tales about Mike Boon, some almost too outlandish to be
believed. To some, he was a fearless explorer, to others he was more of a
demented individual. One day two of us joined Mike into a foray into one
Well, there was the time that I trapped a large group of people inside a
cave after consuming all their drugs and alcohol. They had broken dozens of
beer bottles and were spray painting the walls, so I exited the cave and
barricaded the entrance. The first to return to the entrance started
When I started caving, nobody thought twice about smoking in a cave.
No doubt I did from time to time. (I'm one of those SOBs who quit
smoking only once.) I still don't see any problem with it. Apparently
some people have come to think that the merest whiff of cigarette
smoke will kill
Bill,
It's not that I think the smoke is going to kill me, I just think the smell is
deeply unpleasant. It also makes my clothes reek. I have never smoked a
cigarette in my life and so have never needed to get used to the smell...
Cheers,

Here is another Mike Boon story. I think I had occasion to tell it on
this list within the last year or so, but here it is again. In late
1977 I wrote for the Windy City Speleonews the following book review.
Down To a Sunless Sea. J.M. Boon. Stalactite Press, Edmonton; 1977.
105pp.,
Thank you Frank -
I am not an editor for the Texas Caver but I know they are always looking for
submissions.

Some people actually have allergies to the smoke and/or asthma that can be
agitated by it. Not a good recipe to smoke in a cave when your caving buddy
could have serious health problems because of it.

The National Institute of Health has ( according to Fox News ) supported a
grant to see if LGBT people are more likely to live in neighboorhoods where
tobacco is readily available.
So why not get a similar study financed related to caving ? One suggestion
would be to study to see if people who

There was a large group pushing and surveying parts of Longhorn Caverns,
through the Crownover entrance. The treasure hunters who originally opened
that entrance left a kerosene lamp in a large room past the log entrance crawl.
Someone lit the lamp on the way in and
There is now a pink headlamp suitable for real caving.
It is sold under the NEO brand ( which I think is a marketed by the same
folks that do Coast lights )
Academy has it for $ 25 plus tax.
This lamp could be a back-up light to keep in the pack, if you are on a
trip to a big cave.
