Thank you Missouri

[WJH]

That was fun, but can yall install that escalator before I come back? That hike up with doubles is a killer...

Let's do the pit in the dark next time

Glad you brought that up. How do we request a grant from NSS-CDS to fund that escalator? LOL.


Actually, I love cave diving in the dark. I'll be happy to descend the pit with you next time "lights out".

I'll echo that, and also thank them for leading us to a great cave today!

Rumor has it that you and Forrest went to Fuddruckers for breakfast

I just got back, and all I can say is:

I LOVE MISSOURI and CANNON BALL CAVE!
Thanks for the kind hospitality, and I cannot wait to come back in October!

I was just as glad to get you all up here where the caves are not blown out at this time.

The whole thing was awsome and wished more would have come. You all know you are welcomed any time just let me know and there will be a good report later this week after I get everything taken care of. Some of us did another dive SUnday also.

DeWayne, I even threw in a pic of you in your new "find". I didn't give out the location, though

Guess we will have to get back in there so you will have more to report next time I cannot wait for October to roll around so we can see just how far in it goes and what lies beyond that first spool. Got plenty of line knotted up ready to get wet.

LOL, afraid of heights are you? From what I have heard about that site, I bet that made for a fun dive.

Yeah, kinda hard for a TAG caver to admit (but dry cavers that know me understand), yes... I am a-scared of heights. I will do a pit to see a cave, but not a cave to see a pit Vertical work is a tool to visit more cave, kinda like cave diving is a tool to see more cave...

I prefer to climb in the dark... could not go outside at the Empire State Building, nor get close to the edge of the Grand Canyon... I am a whimp...

I did ok in the Pit (it was dark to start), but when Slim & Forrest lit it up with the 18 & 21 watt HIDs, damn, just damn! I grabbed the rope and stopped where I was... "On rope" I was ok, but was not comfortable, so headed up and left them to enjoy the pit

I am just the opposite, I like to see what I am falling on so I know how loud I should scream on the way down

It was nice meeting you all at the workshop, really enjoyed it. Diving at Cannonball was great, as always, although the viz can be better at times. Thanks to those who made it happen.
