One of the things I was looking forward to on my summer vacation was
getting some rest and sleep. However, I had forgotten how exhausting
a convention is. There was so much caving going on at this convention

If you enjoy watching caving programs in HD, I would have to recommend getting
the HDTV package from Dish Network. I mentioned a program earlier this summer

Last night's program was called Mountainous Sky Caves and
What channel was the Chinese cave program on? Was it that CCTV Chinese

Yep, I remember Linda too - she was a great cave surveyor too!
I'm saddened by Jim's passing, he was a really good guy who, while he

excellent surveyor, and
Well my memories of Jim are too many to mention here, but suffice it to say
that my life could have gone many different routes had I not had the good
