I am glad I found you. I was researching SUNSET mining and found your thread thru google.
I am a former cave explorer, but stopped because I can't keep my hands off the pretties.
I am still an under-ground gold miner and consultant. Your thread helped me to cast some light on these... People. Including a news story about 2 mining claims they are trying to sell (please see the thread about the (((chuckling)))2 million dollar cave).
Keep up your good work conserving, protecting and studying natures un-lit beauty. I will keep my hands off the formations, and you keep your hands off my gold. LOL
GOD BLESS MINE RESCUE, and CAVE RESCUE too!
Thanks again, Phil Roberts, mining consultant
