Mega Kudos!!!

Maybe I just don't notice but it seems to me that all the people who are involved with installing and maintaining the guidelines in all of the more popular cave locations don't get enough thanks and credit.
This occured to me on my way to Challenge Sink via Orange Grove on Saturday. I also dove Madison Blue (Godzilla Room, Martz Sink, and the Rocky Horror tunnel) and Telford (to Beulahland) for the first time. Little River is nicer than I've ever seen it. Spectacular is all can say about these dives and this visit to the North side of my favorite State.
All you guys and gals do a great job and I for one really appreciate it as I'm sure all the other visitors do also even though they probably don't think about it.
Thanks for all your dedication and hard work. I have no doubt that the work is harder than it seems.

Happy Thanksgiving.

P.S. After all this gushing I'm probably going to need a Turpentine soaked rag to get this brown ring from around my nose.

P.S. Hmmm...Brown-nosing... Er...
I'll let someone else handle that. I can be a suck-up myself.

It is hard work to put new line in and maintain it,but I would also add to the list the people who pay for the line to begin with. Gold line that is seen in the more popular systems is primarily paid for by the nonprofit agencies,and is not cheap. So I say kudos to the members of these agencies because by payment of dues,attending a yearly workshop,buying a t-shirt etc you help to pay for these lines that our life can depend on.

Good shameless plug, Kelly.

And I agree wholeheartedly with your point. That's one of the many reasons I don't hesitate to pay my dues. Well, that and access to Cow!

p.s. My thanks also to those who first argue about how the lines should be configured and then make it so.

[ggoodman]

as a new full caver i too would like to thank all of you who maintain, or in some manner assist, the lines. as i learn my way around they are an invaluable tool.

Anyone consider something a bit more formal?

Would appreciate a pm as to who is doing the installing and maintaining of our lines.

Depends a lot on the system,I can think of quite a few people who do the job,but it is different for each system.
