Hey Texas cavers, The most remote lead in Honey Creek Cave will be pushed in a series of three trips in late January-early February 2010. Help is needed to haul gear for cave divers Jean "Creature" Krejca and James Brown. Please let me know of your interest in being part of one or more of these epic adventures.
January 30, 2010 - James and Creature's dive gear will be taken to the upstream HS Sump, a six hour in-cave trip, from the shaft entrance. The gear will be left there for the dive the next weekend. No other trips into the cave will take place this weekend. February 6, 2010 - Creature and James will go to the sump and do the dive. The sump is 1,435 feet long. James and Creature have explored and mapped about 1,000 feet of air-filled passage beyond it to the next sump. They will dive this second sump on this trip. When they return through the long sump, they will stash their gear on the entrance side of the sump. NOTE: This weekend is the weekend when the cave is open for other trips. Entrance to entrance swim trips, the Grand Finale Loop, or anywhere else in the cave, is fine this weekend. Anyone planning to do this should make it known of their interest and plan to have at least one person on your trip who has done your proposed trip before. February 13, 2010 - A large group will go back to the sump and retrieve the gear. No other trips into the cave will take place this weekend. I am keeping track of who would like to be part of this historic caving. E-mail me of your interest and ask me your questions. Cavingly, Bill Steele --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
