Lost Arrow At Ginnie

First day of full cave class, and I break a major rule - Don't Litter The Caves.

One of my arrows fell off my light, came back 1 arrow short.

We started at Little Devil Steps, thru the Ear to the Keyhole, then jumped right to the tunnel that goes SE to the Boneroom. Then jumped left into the tunnel that heads NE back to the Mud Flats. Couple hundred feet past the second jump, turned on conservative 1/3'ds and pulled out the reels and markers.

One arrow missing.

If anyone finds a white plastic arrow with the initials "GLS" please pick it up for me.

And as penance for littering, if you can prove you found my arrow by identifying the markings cut into it's edge for tactile identification, I will donate $20 in your name to the cave charity of your choice.

Again, sorry for littering.

I think I came across that today. There was an arrow hooked on the mainline in the Cornflakes by only one of the slits. I secured it on the mainline. I do believe it had GLS on it. If you're heading into the cave it may not be as visible as when on exit.

I won't be back to Ginnie for week or so, but if it's still there I'll grab it.

If it wasn't clipped in well, you should have taken it so it doesn't litter. IMO the fact that you left trash there and didn't do anything about it is just as bad as leaving it in the first place.

Well if someone actually went cave diving (cough:James:cough) maybe I'd listen... ;-)

She secured it to the line so it wouldn't wander off...

Wow, late night entertainment at it's finest.... :D

Safe diving,

Rich

I have James' tanks... maybe I should find some pink spray paint...

I'd offer to match your donation GLS but I don't want to get slammed for encouraging would be rescuers to take unnecessary risks just to get the reward.

LMAO... :D

Lights out drill through the keyhole, a glow in the dark line arrow (mine, it came loose from my lighthead) floated past my head. I got totally disoriented for a second until I realized what was happening...

I've got a bag full of arrows and cookies I've picked up off the floor or ceiling of caves. The dome at hill400 often holds goodies :)

I pulled 5 off the end of the line in cow on one dive...I really wanted to get a 12" wide cave pie to put at the end of the line with some kind of emotionally discouraging verbiage to decrease the # of tards feeling compelled to tell the rest of the world they made it to the eol.

Don't forget mask de fog. If you need a soda, check the Rollercoaster, loose change seems to fall out there.




Somewhere in my box-o-random-rebuild kits and tools, I have a "mega cookie" a friend made a few of...

:D I have some hot pink spray paint I'll be happy to donate to the cause :) And I could probably find some My Little Pony stickers....

If you want to even up your loss. Next time put your hand in some of the air pockets, after playing with the light bounce, and you may get some arrows back. Our instructor came back with 3 more than he entered with on one of our class dives.

Other things do as well - I found a stainless steel P-valve bolt there once.

FOUND! Dove Ginnie today as part of two 2-diver teams. Told team about the arrow in pre-dive. Lead diver, Brian Latuga, spotted the arrow and picked it up.

Mer is the original finder.... So what donation would you prefer? NSS-CDS, NACD, NFSA? Sludge's next party?

Thanks, Gary Schaut
