Many of you know we have made 5 trips to Cuba since 2012. Just came back from
the Oriente (Holguin, Gibara, Camaguey, and Santiago de Cuba). Met with more
than a dozen groups of cavers, got into a few caves, and made a lot of contacts

Great story (quoted below) about your adventures with beginning cavers, Sleaze
. Glad you were there "just in case". S---t happens, as you know too well.

Hi John:
I started caving in the east where private ownership of caves was the norm. New

The Short Story
Experienced Mammoth Cave folks may have heard of Melissa. She was in love with
her tutor, but he failed to reciprocate her affections. For her revenge, she
abandoned him in Mammoth Cave in 1843 without a lamp. He was never heard of

Good idea, Louise. David: Sell the turkey with a "new" engine and get the Best
