Good grief. I thought it had already happened and I was at the old doctor's
office in San Antone. Sorry about that, i would have been there if I had
known before today. Deer Corn is 120 miles out in the boonies.

Perhaps that section of cave should be renamed the “Russell Borehole”.

The Little Man made the cover of the July-August 1979 Texas Caver. "The 
Monster Borehole section of the Master Main Drain, Airman's Cave, Travis 
County, Texas.  Photo by Bill Russell."  Bill explained on page 63 of 
that issue "It is not that Travis County caves are too small, it is that 
Travis County cavers are too big."

The tightest cave passage I have ever been thru.

Bill led the way throught that like a cave salamander. Not only was 
the long crawl a Wire Wiggle in the truest sense of the word, but on 
the far side it had a 120 degree bend. On the way out I learned one 
had to totally relax and flow like a worm, as thoughts of being 
Trapped entered my headThe knees would not bend around that 
sharp turnI would not recommend that stunt again unless one

tall.The Wire Wiggle, which I bet Bill named, was even tighter 
than Dead Dog Cave also in Austin, another "test piece," of limited 
space caving.


As for Dead Dog Cave, I think the Bittinger Brothers pioneered that 
one, but I would not be surprised if Bill Russell did not have a 
hand in it, too. I did that cave with Don Coons, on one of Don's 
first trips to Austin and "Onward Thru the Fog" caving adventures to 
Mexico.Again, do not try Dead Dog unless you are 165 lbs. or 
lessI seem to recall Dead Dog was sealed by the city of Austin??


When Bill Russell moved to Kirkwood Circle he lived upstairs and the 
Bittinger Brothers lived downstairs. That was I believe the second 
caver house at Kirkwood, and after Frank Binney established 1307 1/2 
Kirkwood.


By the way changing the subject-if you were up one hour ago, before 
daylight, hope you noticed--Reddish Antares in Scorpio, Jupiter, the 
Moon, Saturn, and right above the eastern horizon-Venus. Great 
morning. That lineup will be visible for several mornings before 
dawn, with the distances between these migrating objects varying 
each day.

When I was a young impressionable caver at Texas A, Bill Russell came to one 
of our biweekly grotto meetings and gave a presentation on “Caves”. In that 
slide presentation he had several photos of the “new” borehole in Airman’s 
Cave. It appeared to be 20’ tall passages.until we finally realized that 
the scale figure was a GI Joe.

Re: [Texascavers] Bill Russell, newspaper articles and magazine covers

[PRESTON FORSYTHE]

 The cave trip I made with Bill Russell I will always remember was to the very 
back, read end, of Airman's. What I do not remember is any walking passage in 
the cave. Zero, i.e., none. No walking passage. maybe a little stoop passage, 
not much.  And, the very worthwhile formation area, Selentites, (sp), long 
crystal needles, the goal of the trip, was at the very end. Unfortunately, the 
end was on the other side of the infamousdrum rollWIRE WIGGLE.
The tightest cave passage I have ever been thru. 
Bill led the way throught that like a cave salamander. Not only was the long 
crawl a Wire Wiggle in the truest sense of the word, but on the far side it had 
a 120 degree bend. On the way out I learned one had to totally relax and flow 
like a worm, as thoughts of being Trapped entered my headThe knees would 
not bend around that sharp turnI would not recommend that stunt again 
unless one weighted 165 pounds or less, and shorter than 5 ft. 11 inches 
tall.The Wire Wiggle, which I bet Bill named, was even tighter than Dead 
Dog Cave also in Austin, another "test piece," of limited space caving. 
As for Dead Dog Cave, I think the Bittinger Brothers pioneered that one, but I 
would not be surprised if Bill Russell did not have a hand in it, too. I did 
that cave with Don Coons, on one of Don's first trips to Austin and "Onward 
Thru the Fog" caving adventures to Mexico.Again, do not try Dead Dog unless 
you are 165 lbs. or lessI seem to recall Dead Dog was sealed by the city of 
Austin??
When Bill Russell moved to Kirkwood Circle he lived upstairs and the Bittinger 
Brothers lived downstairs. That was I believe the second caver house at 
Kirkwood, and after Frank Binney established 1307 1/2 Kirkwood.
By the way changing the subject-if you were up one hour ago, before daylight, 
hope you noticed--Reddish Antares in Scorpio, Jupiter, the Moon, Saturn, and 
right above the eastern horizon-Venus. Great morning. That lineup will be 
visible for several mornings before dawn, with the distances between these 
migrating objects varying each day.

I have been reading my cherished copy of Bill's BITE (Biological Investigations

You can count on it. And soon. We leave for Huautla on Sunday. Surely we’ll 
discover a nasty enough crawlway.

I have been reading my cherished copy of Bill's BITE (Biological Investigations 
of Troglobitic Eurycea) report and am ever amazed at the effort and 
thoroughness he put into it.  Even though it is almost 50 years old, it remains 
a reference of singular value and it is the treasure map that will eventually 
lead to the rediscovery of Eurycea robusta.  I just wish Bill could be here

Re: [Texascavers] Bill Russell Picture by Mike McEachern

[Nancy Weaver]

oh this picture reminds me of another story.
William would come over and visit after a dig and I would generally insist we 
sit outside.  He told me that Cindy Spence (hope I’ve got that right)  John 
Spence’s wife, would hose him down before she let him in the house.
and then there was the time he and some other diggers went out for food at an 
all night dive.  The waitress could barely deal with the encrusted mud, but was 
silent until they paid.  Then she yelped  “even their money is dirty”
good times

I crawled around in Laubach Cave with Bill. We got in through a well shaft
or some such.

Bill is a tough guy and has prevailed against a lot of problems.  I’m praying

Please let him know that the entire caving community is pulling for him.
