KIWI SINK Dig will take place mid-morning this coming Sunday 25
November 2012. There is much floor digging to be done but limited
space to work. Excavating 'in-cave' crawlways will be encouraged.

I don't have Aubri Jensen's and Sean Lewis' e-mail addresses, so I'm sending
this note of thanks and results publically via the list. They came out to
Carlsbad last weekend and were a huge help with the resistivity survey at
Big Manhole Cave, and I thank them for their excellent work. We didn't get
as much done last weekend as we hoped for. Vehicle and other issues cut our
day short and only one line was surveyed, but it nicely showed the passage
that the dig in Manhole is shooting to get into. But we didn't get any
useable data on Sunday. It seems that moisture from a morning shower got
into the equipment and gave us the bad results that we'll have to redo,
which will probably happen this week with BLM staff helping.
For any of you going to the Southwestern Region's Winter Technical Meeting
in Albuquerque on the 8th, I'll make a short report at Winter Tech on the
results. Aubri and Sean, if you'd like to be posted on the results once the
microgravity results are in too, send me your addresses and I'll be in
touch.
Again, many thanks,
George
