Re: [Texascavers] Speleo-confessions
There was an expedition to Simmons Mingo cave in West Virginal in the mid-'70s. For the 3-day expedition and several set up/break down overnight trips before and after the expedition we'd set up a dig-your-own latrine area in an upper-level passage that was reported to be a dead end. It was not a crawlway or walking passage but more of a squatway--which was appropriate. There were small garden trowels to dig and cover up the holes with and I think we had wooden popsicle sticks to mark our chosen spots before abandonment. Some dozen or so years later a push trip from the other end of the cave lead into our squatway and eventually became a main access/by-pass route to the rear of the 4-mile long cave. The popsicle sticks had melted away but little disturbed piles of dirt markd the mine field for cavers to negotiate both coming and going in later years. --Ediger On Wednesday, December 24, 2014 7:20 AM, Charles Loving via Texascavers texascavers@texascavers.com wrote: Pooped in the righthand mile long crawl way passage of Tinaja On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Gill Ediger via Texascavers texascavers@texascavers.com wrote: We dumped spent carbide out in caves when and in places we thought it wouldn't be a problem. --Ediger On Monday, December 22, 2014 8:27 PM, Jerry via Texascavers texascavers@texascavers.com wrote: You too !
