Charles,
I've been needing to fix the settings on my Blackberry so it will
allow me to post messages directly to the list, but in the meantime
you are welcome to post this reply. Cascade Caverns is simply a cold
trap. The size and shape of the entrance allows it to capture and
retain the winter's cold far better than most caves. I don't know if
there has been any research that quantifies the effect of size and
shape, but I plan to find out soon. I'm in Austria for the 4th
International Ice in Caves Conference where I expect cold traps to
be a hot topic. If you feel inclined, search for the conference
website and post it to the list. The abstracts of the talks have
just been posted and people on TexasCavers may find them
interesting. The abstracts will soon, if not already be available on
the Karst Information Portal too, www.karstportal.org.
George

Carl, I don't think so, Scott told me this weekend that some studies
were done of it, trying to figure out why it is cooler.
I only broke a sweat in there once, the temp was perfect for working
in there.
The mud is another story :)

Cascade is 58°F? Really? That's 10°F less than other nearby caves.
Atypical, indeed.
Typo?

For anyone looking for a summer project to stay cool, this is for
you then! Cascade Caverns is a cool 58 degrees and I'm not sure
what the humidity is, but its comfortable in there.
This isn't your typical Texas cave.
Scott, thanks for having me this weekend, I had a blast and am
looking forward to the next trip out there.
Charles
