My oversight. You are right, you both did the hard part and completed the
survey. Bad air yes, but it probably was much worse before we blew good air
into the pit for an hour.

Actually, Matt Zaldivar and I surveyed the final depth of Lemon's Ranch. Mark
and Rafal recorded the data. It was bad air, very muddy and a ton of fun!

Ye Gads..........hard core.
I have been down in one of those TX bad air pits and I back out quickly.

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 !
