03/28/09 AACS Project

This Springs Project was the smallest I have ever attended as the earlier ice storm, Funerals and NCRC training at Camp Orr keep a lot of the regulars from coming. I got involved with doing a pit called Arrowhead Pit which we had two teams of three to accomplish our survey of the cave. We netted nearly 1000 feet over all with one team going in the day before as well. The pit consisted of two twenty foot drops with the last one having a way around it that my team discovered and surveyed. There was a very large boulder in a big room at the end of the second drop which we surveyed as well. From there the cave continued as regular cave passage for 600 feet that was done by the rest of the team. We for some reason didn’t end up taking the tour of it but a good day of caving at any standard. Getting two and from the cave was the most challenging aspect due to all the downed limbs from the ice storm, it was a real disaster. Patsy feed us all chili at the end of the day.
