Old Lines in Little River - History?
There is a maze of old lines, with lots of "Ts" in the sidemount passages that begin across from the Mud Tunnel in Little River. The lines appear to be pretty old and I wondered if anyone knows the history of who/when they were installed and any other related info..
If they are "old" and in sidemount passage, then Wes Skiles, or Woody Jasper would be your best bet for information.
The one closest to the exit is the most recent - put in within the last 6-8 years - before then it was unlined. I think the guys who put that in also were saying they had replaced most/all of the old lines in that area in the same time peroid.
Old??
How Old is Old? I was going to say There was no lines there up to about 1994 when I started my cave diving break (sucks getting laid off, having kids etc.) I always would look over there wishing I knew how to sidemount. I got my Nomad now I just need practice. I looking forward to checking that area out.
Old
I called the lines "old" because many of them aren't in very good condition. There are also some pieces of line that are obviously newer. There are lots of short jumps and 'Ts". It would be interesting to know how extensive this area of the cave is. I would say it is a good area to explore with your Nomad, just bring plenty of arrows and cookies.

Oh Lord , keep us safe , ALWAYS safe , and keep ME PRUDENT , ALWAYS PRUDENT !!!
I think I'll look into them during the week when no one else is there. We blew out the front half of the cave the other day plowing through the silt opposite the mud tunnel. There is a maze of lines in there with lots of "T's" and loose line. Maby I'll reline it with some new stuff later this spring. Beware the "Silt Monster".....lol.....Ken
