Cave Art
I really like to stay high in the cave when scootering into the devils system...well a few months back i noticed an interesting feature high up and near the ceiling just past the double domes (between the 1600 and 1700 arrows) jump on the way in. I kind of liked it because it was circular and face-like...two coal black eyes in a white face. I thought it looked ghostlike and alien at the same time and actually started looking for it as a point of reference when heading into the cave. Well this week on the way to mainland with Jeff H. to pick up a water sampler that had spent a few days back in mainland i stopped the dive and showed him the face as i considered it a neat feature. He had not noticed it before and after the dive he said that it did not appear natural to him. Of course it didn't, what was I thinking?!! The next day i went back armed with my camera and new strobe...parked the scooter and went up to it and it is not natural...someone has scraped away the black veneer to reveal the white limestone in about a 14inch diameter circle and left 2 circular eyes. While i actually sort of like it i am not sure that cave art should be encouraged although the specialty card could be fun...along a similar vein i am considering the addition of a coleman camp shovel to my kit. If there's interest i will post some pictures when i get back to my other machine. Bill Huth
