So who left fresh sliced cave loaf in the roller coaster?

[Gary]

Anyone needing an example of some idiot who got himself a new scooter and headed out to damage the cave ASAP should check out the "sliced bread" loaves in the roller coaster at Ginnie / Devil's. (Comes from scooping clay from the floor and thru the running propeller blades.)

I suppose it would never occur to the perpetrator after the first loaf that maybe his skills were insufficient? Or maybe they just thought it was a cool way to screw-up the cave?

Gary, is this something new ? I remember seeing plenty of this in that tunnel a few weeks ago. Looked like someone had scooped some ice cream.

I heard about it Monday - saw it Thursday - you saw it long before me.

I have done 2 swim dives up the Roller Coaster over the past two days and saw no "NEW" damage. Gary, where on the coaster did you see damage?

Yesterday I did have occasion to see two divers actually laying on the cave floor in the mud at the 700 foot marker with their Gavins.

It has been too long since I have been down to comment on new damage. There is some damage as described just outside the Roller Coaster in the Mud Flats. Looks like someone ran the shroud a good 3 to 4 inches into the mud. I can remember that damage for 1999. It still looks pretty much the same way now as it did in 99.

Cheers!!

What is the DPV rule?

[chimie007]

Well it could be something else. What I saw was in the first 100' or so if I remember. A few few long it might have been has the floor goes down (going in) but I'm not 100% sure.

Dave, this is BS. You don't know that this guy had no card ? We see plenty of damage from non scooter people at Ginnie and Peacock and all are cave certified. Maybe he had one maybe he didn't.... we don't know. But we can agree that he didn't have his sh$#@ together.

Also, I could say the opposite of your statement since Ginnie has the rule and there is damage.... therefore no one should have a DPV card.

If Ginnie banned scooters, who's going to stop the divers from renting a john boat and bringing them? New scuba police headquarters?
