    Cool Chemical Light Society

    OK,

    What exactly is the chemical light society?

    I hear you have to do a cave dive with just light stick(s), but is there a certain site, depth, duration, length of penetration, etc?

    Are there any famous members? (JFK, Richard Nixon, etc?)

    It sounds kind of different, and fun.

    Or is it like fight club and we're not supposed to talk about it?

    Any cave will do. The first foray was in Telford, and we just came out the last 500' or so to the second sinkhole. It is amazing how far you can see on a light stick, once your eyes adapt.

    That was a while ago! I think that's the first time I dove with you & TJ

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    A couple of us did the Horseshoe Circuit at Jackson Blue on chemlights. I'll do it again if someone wants to.

    I might get froggy and do it before then too.

    I think the Catacombs would be a good place.

    Nah, Big Room.

    As long as we're doing low tech lights, might as well bring the low tech scooter:

    I'm stuck in Georgia until Sunday afternoon. But then I don't come back up until the middle of January!

    I found that once my eyes adjusted to the lighting I was holding the light as far as possible away from me and it still hurt my eyes if I looked at it.

    "Is this thing on?"
