From Martyn Farr's The Darkness Beckons: The History and Development of Cave 
Diving:

In December 1988 a massive expedition was undertaken with the objective not 
only of pushing the cave [Pannikin Plains Cave, Australia] as far as possible 
but also of recording the exploit on film. The venture was an international 
event with invited participants such as the leading American diver Wes Skiles 
and Rob Palmer from Britain. With a full complement of equipment and 
experienced personnel, the cave was extended to its present limit of 2150m. 
Here a boulder blockage was encountered, an obstacle which may conceivably 
yield to a streamlined diver.

The expedition was a major success, but undoubtedly the most exciting event 
took place during the final retreat from the cave. It was 3:40 p.m. in the 
afternon when virtually the full team assembled on the subetrranean lakeside 
and started unloading the equipment which had just arrived from the depth of 
the system. On the surface a freak cyclone hit the area, destroying the camp 
and, within a period of twenty-five minutes, depositing more than twice the 
area's annual rainfull. Before those underground became aware of the magnitude 
of the event a torrent of water poured into the vertical shaft, causing a 
massive landslide and collapse. Miraculously, despite a hail of boulders 
crashing into the chamber at the bottom, no one was injured. The exit route was 
completely blocked and thirteen of the team were effectively entombed. With an 
air of calm resignation, they set about organising themselves for survival for 
an unknown length of time.

Fortunately radio communication was established within hours of the disaster. 
An escape route through the chaos of boulders was pioneered the next day, and 
all arrived safely on the surface by 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. Their equipment, 
valued at over Australian $200,000, had to be left where it lay, to await 
retreival after a suitable period of natural stabilisation.

 New Mexico White Nose Syndrome (WNS) Response Plan. This Plan was
 developed with input gathered during the first series of meetings we had
 with cavers and cave researchers in July.
 
 
 The Response Plan provides a strategy to reduce or slow the disease's
 westward movement and protect New Mexico's bat populations.
 
 
 Two meetings will be held on Monday, November 8 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the
 following locations:
 
 
 Carlsbad Public Library Annex, 101 S. Halagueno, Carlsbad, NM
 
 
 Albuquerque BLM District Office, 435 Montano Road, Albuquerque, NM
 
 
 We want to share with you the Response Plan, the criteria used for defining
 a Significant Bat Roost for Southwestern bat species, and determine who
 among you may be interested in assisting the agencies with cave
 signing/gating, monitoring of WNS, or other projects associated with WNS.
 
 
 Thank you for your consideration of these meetings, we look forward to
 meeting with you next week. You're welcome to share this invitation with
 other interested cavers and cave researchers. Please contact Donna Hummel
 at 505-954-2019 or dhum...@blm.gov with your RSVP to one of the meetings or

[Texascavers] Robber Baron Cave on TV

Beamer takes you deep under San Antonio into Robber Baron Cave

Reported by: Randy Beamer
Email: randybea...@woaitv.com

Published: 11/01 7:46 pm
ShareThis
Updated: 7:15 am


Deep under San Antonio lies a long-forgotten piece of history.
Robber Baron Cave was a tourist attraction until it was sealed off  
decades ago.
But with the help of a scientist doing new research, Randy Beamer  
takes you deep inside the historic cave.


Joe Mitchell and I are all suited up in caving gear, with boots, elbow  
and knee pads, gloves, and miner's helmets with lights on top.  On Joe  
it looks natural. Me -- not so much. Maybe it's because Joe is a  
scientist in his day job and his passion is caving.


Caving is what the hardcore call the sport and science of exploring  
caves -- which some still call spelunking. But Joe is about to be more  
of a tour guide, giving me a history and science lesson of a cave he's  
been researching for some time.


In fact, Joe just re-drew the map of San Antonio's Robber Baron Cave,  
using old surveys, measurements he's taken himself, and new computer  
software. And he continues digging into the unusual history of it  
using newly available documents -- many of them old newspaper archives  
digitally scanned and made searchable by computer.


Over a picnic table in the landscaped lot above the entrance, Joe  
points out different features of the cave which lies 40-60 feet  
beneath our feet. Here at the edge of the sinkhole leading down to the  
cave opening, was a concession stand decades ago.


A black and white photo documents that you could buy hot dogs and  
sodas there, back in the days when you could also pay 50 cents for a  
tour.


But most people in San Antonio have never heard of it because since  
the 1930's the different owners have done their best to block off the  
entrance with metal gates, trash, even a concrete bunker.  That bunker  
was finally blasted away a few years back and a non-profit group  
called the Texas Cave Management Association now operates it as a  
preserve.


And before you ask -- no -- it's still not open to the general public  
and not likely to be - ever.  That's largely because of the threat of  
vandalism and people getting lost inside the maze of natural tunnels.


So there are more gates to keep out the curious, which Joe Mitchell  
unlocks to let me squeeze in.  Just inside the entrance is an area  
about the size of a small office.


I'm optimistic, thinking this might not trigger any claustrophobia in  
me.


Joe assures me there are smaller challenges ahead. We can show you a  
lot tighter areas in the cave,Mitchell says. There are passages just  
big enough for your body to go through and no bigger.


I had to ask.

A short time later I'm looking at a passage they describe as 18 inches  
high and three feet wide. To me that looks like a gross  
overestimation, but I'm committed to get the full caving experience.


I ask for any last bit of advice before hoisting myself into the  
shrinking void. Thrash and flail, I thought I heard Joe say.
Excuse me? Thrash and flail, he repeats, laughing. It means get  
through however you can.

Re: [Texascavers] English-Spanish caving dictionary

2010-11-02 Thread David
The dictionary seems like a helpful resource.Being able to use some of
these words in a conversation would most likely require a very basic
knowledge of the language the caver
is trying to speak or write about.

I only see a few words missing that are used by some Mexican cavers and
also foreign cavers in Mexico.

Resumidero
El guano
Helectita ?
Cuevero ( and los cueveros ) ( slang for caver )
Pasaje
Sector  ( section of a cave )
Conectar

and missing ( I think ) are
words for break-down and
twilight zone

In a normal conversation, such as around camp, there might be some slang
or colloquial adjective added to a word.Such as la pasage termina en un
pinche sifon.   ( as in frickin sump )

And it doesn't cover all the variations of a word, for example, it has the
verb
explorar, but not exploracion.

Hello David

 You can use the word Resumidero  to a Hole , where the water go out
The word Guano  or caca, popo or excremento (heces fecales) from bat.
the word Helectita is the same in english
Cuevero, espeleologo  = caver
Pasaje = Passage
Sector is like a area, or a part of some place to explore (section of a
cave)
conectar or conexion = Connect
example: we made a conexion in the cave!, the cave have a connection.

bad words
cabron: you can use in form offensive to someone or you can use this for
said is a cabrona cave  the best cave=very difficult or this man is a
cabron in two different way cabron for bad things or  good things. or you
can use this word like a expression Ahi Cabron! is like a difficult
situation.

Pinche is a  man who help in the kitchen or a person unfairly, if the cave
is dificult with many extrange passage, is a pinche cave.

Pendejo, this word you can use when a person is stupid all the time, or have
a lot money: example: Only the pendejo drive a mustang, I want to be a
Pendejo... is a joke, but the people use this word for many uses.

Hijo de la chingada, is a offensive sentences but when we said, this cave
is a hija de la chingada, is like a extremly dificult.

Guey with G, is offensive word to someone. But the people use this word
commonly in the day so, is like a hey cuate!, hey you! many people not
remember the name of the person and say that, or only for friendly situation
in a party, hey guey I need this, hi guey
depends the form that you said and the modulation of your voice, the
intention.

I hope you can understand my ideas. My English is not good.

 the word Helectita is the same in english
 Cuevero, espeleologo  = caver
 Pasaje = Passage
 Sector is like a area, or a part of some place to explore (section of a
 cave)

 bad words
 cabron: you can use in form offensive to someone or you can use this for
 said is a cabrona cave  the best cave=very difficult or this man is a
 cabron in two different way cabron for bad things or  good things. or you
 can use this word like a expression Ahi Cabron! is like a difficult
 situation.

 Pinche is a  man who help in the kitchen or a person unfairly, if the cave
 is dificult with many extrange passage, is a pinche cave.

 Pendejo, this word you can use when a person is stupid all the time, or
 have a lot money: example: Only the pendejo drive a mustang, I want to be
 a Pendejo... is a joke, but the people use this word for many uses.

 Hijo de la chingada, is a offensive sentences but when we said, this cave
 is a hija de la chingada, is like a extremly dificult.

 Guey with G, is offensive word to someone. But the people use this word
 commonly in the day so, is like a hey cuate!, hey you! many people not
 remember the name of the person and say that, or only for friendly situation
 in a party, hey guey I need this, hi guey
 depends the form that you said and the modulation of your voice, the
 intention.

 I hope you can understand my ideas. My English is not good.

 The dictionary seems like a helpful resource.Being able to use some of
 these words in a conversation would most likely require a very basic
 knowledge of the language the caver
 is trying to speak or write about.

 I only see a few words missing that are used by some Mexican cavers and
 also foreign cavers in Mexico.

 Resumidero
 El guano
 Helectita ?
 Cuevero ( and los cueveros ) ( slang for caver )
 Pasaje
 Sector  ( section of a cave )
 Conectar

 and missing ( I think ) are
 words for break-down and
 twilight zone

 In a normal conversation, such as around camp, there might be some slang
 or colloquial adjective added to a word.Such as la pasage termina en
 un
 pinche sifon.   ( as in frickin sump )

 And it doesn't cover all the variations of a word, for example, it has the
 verb
 explorar, but not exploracion.

 Wikipedia in a foreign language is also a helpful tool:
