Its been on the Discovery channel several times. Cave digger is a rotary rasp that cuts through hard clay like butter. More tunnel creation than cave. Cave Biologist is Jim Kennedy and Mike Rowe trudging through Guano wearing ammonia absorbant masks it Bracken. I think it was filmed in the summer of '04 or '06. High point is Jim wrapping his arm around Mike, pulling him out of the deep guano he's managed to get mired in. Lifesaving Crash. Also filmed outside of the cave - Jim gets in a few clever comments. He had a little pony tail back then. It's entertaining enough - but don't miss church to see it. -WaV

Dirty Jobs Latest By: Don Hunter (Colbert, Georgia) I just checked the Discovery Channel's schedule for next week and, lo and behold, some great news. They apparently took the footage from the recent shoot and made not one but two episodes, to be aired back to back, from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm on January 22 (next Tuesday night). The first episode is titled "Cave Digger" and the second is titled "Cave Biologist". I am assuming that the footage for both is from the Kentucky trip that Mudpuppy was on. I haven't heard of any other caving that was shot for the show. This is shaping up to be a real treat. Everybody set your Tivo's and PVRs. and as a follow-up: Re: Tag-Net Digest #4835 By: David Engelberger (Seymour, Tennessee) This is from a "Dirty Jobs" fan. The cave digger episode at 9:00 is about wine makers cutting into the mountains of California to store their wine. I am looking forward to seeing the Kentucky cave show at 10:00 !!!
