    Default HowFarWasThatSwim?

    Hey,

    Does anyone out there know the actual or even really close to actual distance from the Upstream Cavern Entrance at Emerald to the hole in the bottom of the Black Abyss?

    I?m sure someone will come along and correct me, but about 2000ft. (Approx). (Maybe). (If I don?t have to be precise).

    Thanks! That at least confirms the sketchy calculations I was making based on a low quality, digital reproduction of the NACD map. I came up with 2100' and was going to round up to 2500' to be conservative.

    James is right, it's about 2k. I have the survey data from Emerald to Cheryl if you want it.

    Based on on my latest calculations 2,175.87 ft. When you factor in drag with stages on the scooter

    So, it is closer if you don't have stages?
