Rapps Cave Report - Spring 2008

There's been no activity since the last report, so really there's nothing to report now, but I want to remind people that we have permission from the owners to run a survey line from Rapps to Buckeye Creek Cave. It would be only a hole big enough to survey through (NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR A HUMAN BODY TO PASS THROUGH only a hand shake). This would add another mile to Buckeye Creek Cave, making it about 6 miles of passages.

Anything else added to Rapps would make Buckeye Creek Cave even bigger. There's the blowing lead at the end of Rapps' main passage and we've seen virgin cave in the left passage off the entrance room (but the opening into it is too small). We have permission to attack both of these spots.

Any who enter have to fill out a "Sign Your Life Away" liability release form (unless you've already done so), run your proposed project by me (and possibly by the owners), and if approved, let me know when you're going in to work. We need photos also. No trips are planned at present.
