Just wanted to make you cavers aware that a new map of Lemons Ranch is now
finished and it will be at the TSA salone for viewing. The survey is complete
now and the survey footage totals 949 ft. with a depth of 104 ft. This is the
third deepest cave at the park I am told. My thanks go to those who helped
with the survey. They are : Will Harris, Ronnie Harrison, Rafal Kedzierski, Ed
Spaulding, Scott Boyd, Bonnie Longley, Justin Menking, Kurt Menking, Kathleen
O-Connor, Mark Sanders, and Jessica Stevenson. There are two dig leads at both
ends of the cave but both are grim. Both are in bad air. We were able to
complete the survey by running 225 ft of 6" air duct down into the cave to blow
out the high concentrations of CO 2. We plan to survey other bad air caves as
long as bats are not present in the caves.
Happy Caving !
