You might not have to buy a 3D camera, just take a lot of pictures
from different angles and use software like this:

or Microsoft's Photosynth:

You are correct, Gary. Both Don and I worked for the Water Resources division
I often stayed in their house in Muscat when I came in from the field. Cheryl
was a gracous hostess as well as a supererb vertical caver.

If I remember correctly this cave was discovered and first explored by Don
Davison and Cheryl Jones when they lived there.

Hi all--
Some friends of mine makes awesome hoodies and I thought I would pimp them
to the cavers community.
Presenting...
BAT HOODIES! (With wings!!!)
http://bunnywarez.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/64
They also make Bat Jammies, for those of you who want to keep toasty warm.
http://bunnywarez.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/62
And if you browse around, they make all kinds of animals too, but I know the
bat lies near and dear to your heart.
If you order one, be sure to tell them I sent ya. (; Please feel free to
forward to other caving list. Support local crafters in Oakland, CA.

Doesn't sound like it would work too great if you were crawling through your
typical Texas cave. Something like Carlsbad - OK...

By SEAN BATURA
News Reporter
Hays County’s plan to purchase of 50.199 acres adjacent to Jacob’s Well
came under fire last week from the deal’s opponents, who include at least two
incoming commissioners court members and some Hays Trinity Groundwater
Conservation District (HTGDC) board members.
