If you'll be in the Carlsbad area this weekend or can be, this is a last minute reminder that NCKRI is working with the SWR on a geophysical study of Big Manhole Cave. The purpose is to refine the work that has been previously been done and try to develop a better idea of where and how to connect Manhole to the passages that must exist beyond and are the source of its airflow.
Part of the reason for this last minute reminder is because there were some last minute cancelations and a couple of extra hands would be really helpful tomorrow and Sunday. If you can make it, meet at NCKRI HQ in Carlsbad tomorrow and/or Sunday at 7:30 a.m. MST. For directions: http://nckri.org/about_nckri/contact_nckri.htm. If you know how to get to Manhole and prefer to meet there, feel free to head to the well pad at the start of last rough patch of road before the cave. Lewis Land will be leading tomorrow's effort and will be up there around 8:30 a.m., and then he will continue on and drive to the cave. I'll join him on Sunday. Today Bonny Armstrong and Michael Queen joined Lewis and me in laying out 3.5 of the 6 geophysical transects we plan to run this weekend. My many thanks to them for a great day's work! I'll present the results of this weekend's survey at Winter Tech in Albuquerque.
