his dog had been running with him in the mines and had jumped in a
pit in the mine.
We got rope and gear and went into the mine. We rigged a rope down
the pit, using Joe Ivy as a rig point because we couldn't find
anything else to use for rigging. Brian went down to bury the dogs with rocks.
I was also on that trip, and was there when the dog just ran
up to the lip of the pit and jumped in. It was a deep one, between
50 and 100 feet, as I recall. The only thing we could imagine was
that in the dim light the dog thought it was a pool of water. We
later named it Doggone Pit.
I enjoyed caving with Brian a lot in his earlier caving
days. He was active in Mexico and Texas, especially at Honey Creek.
