Thanks George!

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.

I only broke a sweat in there once, the temp was perfect for working in there. The mud is another story :) Charles On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Carl Kunath <carl.kun...@suddenlink.net>wrote: > Cascade is 58°F? Really?
