We observed a layer of cave ice on the water in cave without a name upstream
passage this January. I don't recall seeing any on trips we did back in 2000.

George, it would also be interesting to relate this to the development
of the rather recent calcite formation in Snowy RIver. SR only forms
calcite in SR during a "flood event" in the really dry NM area, and
that apparently happens only 2-4 times in a 10 year period due mostly
to heavy rain

of "sand" on the bottom (but on top of the mud), as if they were filled
