Re: [Texascavers] Airman's Cave related
Ah, Airman's and memories of my classic trip to the very back of the cave with Bill Russell, a few years ago. Who can forget the Birth Canal, the One-Legged Man and to me the most famous passage, the Wire Wiggle. It looked like the cave now has a gate. Does the UTG control the key? I thought the video was pretty good for the 10 minute run. The primary light must have been a Mummut. A very bright spotlight, too bright for the small passage.

Re: [Texascavers] Airman's Cave related
The two guys in this film tagged along with the Cowtown Grotto trip, and turned around right after the first long crawl, because one of the boys got scared. They don't know anything about taking off their helmets (which, for a trip to the Aggie Art Gallerie and back, they shouldn't need to). Preston, The City of Austin controls the key. These kids went in last Saturday, which was the day of the Open House.
