Marion O. Smith is right. (So is an old goat.) Aside from the
impressive level of activity for someone who is 72 today, nobody else,
I'm sure, keeps track of all that. I think I remember when he was
closing in on 3000 vertical caves, counting each cave only once, no
matter how many times he visited it or how many drops it had. That was
years ago. -- Mixon
A correspondent has given me his caving statistics for 2014 as of
September 19:
162 different caves visited, of which 104 were new to me (including
32 new pits), 443:52 cave hours:minutes, 6992 feet of rope climbed
in pits, 8200 feet of virgin passage explored.
Who would this be? (It couldn't be anyone else.) -- Mixon

Do you really think it is weakness to yield to temptation? There are
terrible temptations that require strength and courage to yield to.
