skills a must. Contact me off-list by this afternoon if interested.

Interesting video of some folks getting off a bus and having the earth give way
and falling into a pit. I understand they only went about 10 feet but I'm sure
it was an exciting ride.

When the Devil wants you, he'll go to any lengths to get you.
Back in the '60's, I was on the team that first dropped the skylight to Big
Door Cave in the Guads. (Tom Meador was first, me second.) The skylight was
on a sloping ledge, cliffs above and below. After we'd dropped and were
headed toward the main entrance (where we exited), we noticed a room on the
right that had a very high ceiling. We all thought that the top seemed very
near the surface, probably along the same ledge.
Years later ('80's) it was reported that someone was walking on that ledge
between the two entrances when the ground gave way. The lucky fellow fell on
his crotch, one leg going in the new hole and the other sliding toward the
edge of the cliff. Albeit sore, he lived to walk back to his vehicle on the
main ridge.
Sure enough about two years later I was back to Big Door and went into that
same mid-room. Saw daylight up there that time, supporting the veracity of
the story.
Big Door Cave is also known as Hermit, Wild Man, Owl, and at least two other
names.
Owls yea, no bats. No WNS.
Watch where you walk! Better to fall 10 feet from the sidewalk than 140 feet
into Big Door Cave.

There was a story on NPR's Market Place on Wednesday about an abandoned
limestone mine turned into an underground secure industrial park.
<http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/subtropolis-yeah-its-pretty-underground>.
I'd heard of such places before, and in fact anyone who went to the NSS
Convention in Indiana in 2007 attended the photo salon and banquet in
such a facility. This one in Kansas City is apparently the largest in
the world. Full story at
