Re: [SWR] [Texascavers] A way to find caves in the Guads

Greg Springer has recently used a good-quality commercial 
infrared camera to locate blow holes in West Virginia.  See 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXjRzaS87Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXjRzaS87Y 
and 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=760t_B-pDXYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=760t_B-pDXY. 
Subsequent discussions revealed that the camera on a cell phone or 
other inexpensive IR cameras are not likely to be sensitive enough 
for this application.  It may require a relatively expensive, 
dedicated IR camera.  Nevertheless, the potential seems quite good.
