    Default Hole in the Wall over 4 miles

    Just thought you might be interested to know, Hole in the Wall cave, Jackson County, Fl. now has over 4 miles of surveyed passage. Survey continues, as we try to flesh out the crazy mazes on the eastern side.

    That brings us inside the 200 longest caves in the US at 199! Woohoo!

    Thanks for the survey help:

    Post 1978:
    Edd Sorrensen
    Jason Richards
    Ben Martinez
    Jim Clark
    Marius Freid
    Rob Neto
    Bill Graham
    Ryan Eastman

    Pre 1978:
    P. Deloach, K. Sullivan, M. Evans, D. Sweet, W. Fehring, W. Walter, R. Gomez, J. Zumrick, R. Goodman, S. Exley, P.W. Smith

    And yes, an updated map will come along eventually. The line plot can be viewed some of the time at Edd's on the millpond.

    - have to put a plug in here .........though not involved in the survey, a whole lot of new cave in Hole in the Wall was discovered by Bill Main and Bill Gavin (and others) and i had the honor of being along for the ride for some of it .......mid 80's...... some of that #18 twist that you are mapping was theirs


    congrats folks!

    Ask Edd about the time he and Ryan kinda got a little, well, turned around about 1.7ish miles in the cave.
    Saw the map a year or so ago. Very impressive cave.
