I saw the initial release of Raiders of the Lost Ark in Alexandria, Louisiana,
with a bunch of other archeologists. We dressed like we always did in the
field (jeans and T-shirts), but carried no field gear. I think I had already
retired my pith helmet by then, but I had worn fedoras for ages.

I think we should get a group of cavers together and go see it dressed up in

I notice in the trailers that the intrepid group is all spiffed out in seemingly new REI-like toggery. No old clothes .. and everyone's makeup is perfect. What a crock.. aren't there any Gabby Hayes-like (or Marjorie Main-like) scruffy sorts available for these acting gigs?

Actually Ted, that's the way cavers look who are going underground these
days. They have fancy duds, are clean shaven, there are more women than in
your day, there are some tatoos, and over all they are lean and muscular.
You've been looking at who shows up at TCR and think they still go in caves.

Wrongo! I was thinking of McEachern in 1976(?) with his specs repaired with stained glass materials..

And to Mike's credit, he does still go underground, but he now lives and
caves in Montana. He also has a colorful nylon cave suit. He's retired and is
a man of means it seems. I was talking about underground Texas these days.

You're showing your age, dude.
In order to explore and survey virgin cave in Texas these days, you have to be
well-prepared for long, hard trips, and since everyone has waterproof cameras,
it helps to be photogenic, too.

P.S. Last night on Turner Classic Movies I caught a few minutes of a
forgettable B&W screwball comedy from 1937. "That actor looks vaguely
familiar," I thought. I was surprised to discover that prior to Frederic
March's turn in "Inherit the Wind (1960)" and "Death of a Salesman (1951)" he
was a romantic lead in the movies of the '30's. I guess it's all relative.

I've got a friend who was offered an appointment to West Point while he was in the Army in the early 1960s. The catch was that because he had bad acne, he would have to have his face sanded since West Point don't want no ugly graduates. He declined their "generous" offer.
I guess caving has become more concerned with outward appearances than with "inner beauty". <snork>
