[Texascavers] Thai topics

Here are the guys making the PVC tube that the boys may crawl through, along with a ladder to maybe pull themselves through the swimming sections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLJmhpZKbuo I learned today that Thai culture sometimes has public cremations. It looks like maybe the fallen r

Re: [Texascavers] [Sandia Grotto]: Re: [SWR CAVERS] The rescue attempt is far from over in the Thai cave

Ken, Yes, the source of the calcite has been the subject of much discussion and speculation. There are several theories, none yet proven. One of the favorites is that the calcite-saturated water comes from the top of the water table where it can sit for years and then, during above normal pre

Re: [Texascavers] Another Pete Story

I had to dig really deep into my repressed-memory subcortex to find this to unscramble the remaining 200 Megabytes of decaying-memory left. In late 1985 or 1986, I had driven from College Station to Bustamante. I do not remember at all, if I was alone or had some Aggies with me. I went into Palm

[Texascavers] Another Pete Story

I seem to recall at various NSS campgrounds where a temporary restroom was constructed, that Pete would arrive early and help tweak the plumbing issues or arrange vertical tarps for privacy. Feel free to correct me. Maybe at Maine and Marquette, Michigan. If Pete was at the Spring 1985 TSA Sprin

Re: [Texascavers] [Sandia Grotto]: Re: [SWR CAVERS] The rescue attempt is far from over in the Thai cave

John, Not to divert the discussion from dangerous areas in Snowy River if it flooded. But, I find the comment that the flagging tape was coated in calcite after only a short period of flooding to be interesting. That would indicate that the source of the calcite is significant for two reasons.

[Texascavers] wet Texas caves

Whatever happened to the project at Manley's Cave ( might have name spelled wrong ). This was a tiny wet cave west of Fort Worth ? I never saw a map of it. My fuzzy memory from the late 80's was it was just a short tight wet crawlway that dead-ended or became too tight. The best lead that I kn

Re: [Texascavers] [Sandia Grotto]: Re: [SWR CAVERS] The rescue attempt is far from over in the Thai cave

Yes, it would silt up quickly to low visibility but is is straightforward and not a narrow passage. The other two regions that would scare me are the long low crawl from SRS 102-112 or so, often nicknamed Crawl from Hell. This probably would just fill wall to wall with a headspace. In an emergen

When was the last time you saw this much attention to someone that died in a cave ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6fxU3SEiY4 One thing not being reported in the news is that it has now been close to 15 days since the boys probably spent any time with their mommies. I can't go a week wi

Re: [Texascavers] [SWR CAVERS] The rescue attempt is far from over in the Thai cave

And after the last day’s reports of low O2, we found out that the Thai cave air pocket where the boys are located is likely not being refreshed with cave air, so there are likely sumps on both sides of their chamber. This fact, plus the unfortunate death of the Thai Seal Team diver, is illustrat

[Texascavers] Thai culture

I have watched about 10 hours of Thai YouTube videos in the past week. Have you ever seen anything like this hobby before ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyA1_m-OlhA Apparently there is so much methane in the soil of the waterways ( at least in this area ) that locals can easily set it on
