I agree with Bill. This is probably some confusion with Jacob's Well. I
maintain the TSS files for Comal County, which include Honey Creek Cave, and
there is no mention of such a thing in any of the records. When I first met the
owner in 1976, he told me the cave had been owned by his family for over a
century. In the years since with many cavers like me, Bill, Kurt Menking, and
others working closely with Johnny, mention of a fatality never came up. It has
been my experience that if an accident has ever occurred at a cave, then the
owner makes sure you know about it and so you can demonstrate the knowledge and
skill to assure that it won't happen again. I've no doubt that if someone had
died in Honey Creek, Johnny would have let us know.

Wavy,
You must have gotten this from a dream of yours. I've been caving at Honey
Creek Cave for 27 years and this is the first I've heard of this. Maybe you're
confusing Honey Creek with Jacob's Well?
