Your right. We all should try to give a little back, and many do. Also the time spent in PJ's can be used to educate some of the 'flashlight' cavers that abound there.
I really wish I could get to one of the grotto meetings. I work 2nd shift which shoots down that idea though. I do try to keep in touch with some of my grotto friends and hope to keep up on things here. I did run into a few fellow cavers at PJ's this last weekend when they were finishing the mock rescue. Definitely the number 1 place to practice. I was in one of these in '93, but I understand they did this one from 'way back in the stream levels. Don't envy them that work-out.
Everyone be advised, They pulled alot of the older ropes and handlines hanging in the cave, so be prepared to do some rigging next trip. Especially noted is the old, nasty ropes from the Raccoon Room to the stream level. They are gone, so I was informed. Some of the newer lines on the smaller nuisance drops were left.
Did that last trip mainly to test my Sten light with the Fenix L2D-ce on the side. Loved it . major bright, very light weight.
