I agreed, but in doing so, I forgot MYcamera, leaving it at the rescue site. When I was relieved and sent back topside(about twelve hours later), John asked me to take his camera up with me so thatit didn’t get lost in the shuffle. He wrote his, I wrote mine, and I just stuck them together. Another thing worked out very well, and that was the photo record of the trip. I took pictures on the way in, and during the wait for the first rescueassessment team to reach us. It was easy to edit, because he and I were in the caveat different times, but between us, we pretty much covered the wholerescue. I havereprinted two of the articles from that issue.

At one point, the ledge that John Marquart wasstepping on broke under his weight, and he began to fall into the crevice. Thus began a series of events that kept us very busy for the next 24 hours orso, the first full-scale rescue at Mammoth Cave National Park. Justpast a place called, “Ebb and Flow Falls”, is a crevice passage called,“Straddle Canyon” where one has to straddle a deep crevice, which varies fromone to three feet wide. At the end of the week-long Mammoth Cave Restoration Field Campthat year, we were offered a reward trip, an opportunity to visit FloydCollins’ Crystal Cave, to see Floyd’s famous “Lost Passage”. Since we are a bitshort on current articles for this issue, I feel that these are worth arerun. It was August 19 and 20, 1993, so many ofour current members are unfamiliar with these events. Speaking of Mammoth Cave…we had quite a bit of excitement downthat way a few years ago. Contact information: website at http///OHGhome or contact Carl & Lisa Thayer at or (417) 537-8618. MSS president & archaeologist Matt Forir will speakon Lon Odell Cave. Highlights include Garrison Cave and a restoration workshop atFox Creek Cave. The locationis-believe it or not-Bob’s Chigger and Tick Ranch in southwestern DouglasCounty. Unfortunately, the MVOR takes place the sameweekend (May 4-6) as the Mammoth Cave Restoration camp.

I admire those folks, but I guess Istarted caving a bit late in life to get out there on the edge. Both books are great reading! You can get them from the NSSBookstore, or online from. Then you have a new starting point for yourmapping, by-passing some of that nasty stuff you had to go through to findit. Another is to digand blast a new entrance. Another solution is to find a new entrance. Then you can survey fora while…remembering that you’ll have at least ten hours of hard going just tosee the light of day again.

One of the main problems is that you keep pushingand mapping, until it gets to the point that it takes ten hours of hard cavingjust to get to the last place that’s been mapped. It’s taken some real hard-core cavin’ to mapsome of those caves. BMC takes it from there, with the establishmentof the Central Kentucky Karst Conservancy, the discovery of Roppel and Morrisoncaves and much, much more! Our grotto mate Don Coons figured prominentlyin much of this exploration. TLC takesthe history of the exploration of Mammoth Cave and the Flint Ridge caves fromthe beginning up through the excitement of making the connection between themby the Cave Research Foundation. If you liked “The Longest Cave”, you’ll love BMC! If youhaven’t read TLC, GET IT! No caver should be without it. Huffpuff! You can read all about it later in this issue.Īs usual, (other than the weekend at Mammoth), the closest I’vebeen to a cave is reading “Beyond Mammoth Cave” by Roger Brucker and JimBorden. Last time, we hauled 841 bags ofwood, cable and other stuff from Vanderbilt Hall to the surface. We get to have fun workingour butts off, to be frank about it. Well, here we go again! It’s off to Mammoth Cavetime! More fun, games and a bit of hard work thrown in for thebargain.
