[PBSS] Pictures (PBSS Project 2012)
Greetings, Normally I don't send pictures to the mailing list but these have been resized so they are smaller files... This is some pictures of the 2012 PBSS project "Blue Quail Cave" and are being sent out as discussed at the PBSS meeting earlier today. This will require some digging as one side passage is completley collapsed and the other is filled in. All I will say is that it is a easy to drive to the cave and is NE of Van Horn, Texas in Culbersum County... It is a new discovery and the PBSS has been invited to dig and explore. We have also been invited to stay at the landowner's (storage container converted) line shack located about 3/4 of a mile away. The first trip will be in late January 2012. To Jerry and Carl (on the list) don't worry I have the GPS coordinates and will turn it all over to the TSS if this turns out to be something significant. Thanks, Bill *** "Take nothing but vandals, Leave nothing but pictures, Kill nothing but footprints" ...

Please...don't believe everything you read. Think about the difference between what the reporter wrote, and what the cavers actually told him (or her).

Re: [Texascavers] Cave connection in England yields 70 mile system
From a January 2011 article about this effort, they explain it this way: At 300 ft below the surface, the team are working in 10 bars of atmospheric pressure. It means by channeling stream water through a simple hose, they can fire the water they collect at ancient mud with great force - and blast their way through. Note also that the author calls being suspended on rope in a 130m shaft "stomach churning".
