    Default Unexplored Cave

    Let's clean up the poll a bit, by restricting it those who have or desire to explore caves that have never been explored before. That is, going where no one has gone before.....

    Skip, you can't make this better by making it bigger. You have already used the word "virgin", and now you want to go where no one has gone before. I mean, this isn't star trek, and you ain't Mr Spock. We are a bunch of old degenerates, Skip, I can deal with it, so should you.

    Well, you limit it a little that way. I've never been in flooded cave where at least one person hasn't been before me. But I've been in my share of air-filled cave where I was the first!

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    oops, i started to start a new poll, thought better of it, and thought I cancelled the whole business!

    as a fellow old degenerate, Mr. Spock was my favorite. Deny those emotions until pushed too far then explode in a fury!

    anyway, the poll I was going to start in an attempt to fix the virgin cave poll, seemed to head the same place. maybe someone else can figure a better wording....hey, Squirrel Girl just did...flooded cave where no other diver had been before you....

    You could always ask, "Are you interested in cave exploration?"

    I have dove in caves in the Bahamas that had passages with no line, and the system was only accessible by boat or looooong scooter ride from shore. Am I the first one to dive one of those side passages? Hell if I know! So how can you gauge that? Is a passage WITHOUT a line considered a virgin passage?

    Come to think of it, Brian probably dove the damn thing 10 years ago.. He's been in every hole in the Bahamas.

    Cheers,
