Re: [Texascavers] Lemons Ranch Cave
My oversight. You are right, you both did the hard part and completed the survey. Bad air yes, but it probably was much worse before we blew good air into the pit for an hour. --- On Tue, 2/16/10, Andy Zenker rockhugg...@gmail.com wrote: From: Andy Zenker rockhugg...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Texascavers] Lemons Ranch Cave To: texascavers@texascavers.com List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 10:39 AM Actually, Matt Zaldivar and I surveyed the final depth of Lemon's Ranch.

The survey is complete now and the survey footage totals 949 ft. with a depth of 104 ft. This is the third deepest cave at the park I am told. My thanks go to those who helped with the survey. They are : Will Harris, Ronnie Harrison, Rafal Kedzierski, Ed Spaulding, Scott Boyd, Bonnie Longley, Justin Menking, Kurt Menking, Kathleen O-Connor, Mark Sanders, and Jessica Stevenson. There are two dig leads at both ends of the cave but both are grim. Both are in bad air.

We plan to survey other bad air caves as long as bats are not present in the caves. Happy Caving !
Re: [Texascavers] Lemons Ranch Cave
Absolutely! Without Marks air blower and 200ft of tubing into the cave, the surveying would not have been possible at all. It worked remarkably well. I was impressed.
