A fair day

Joe'l, Bella and I went to Bloomington today. I went to Buckners Cave, they went to 'Once Upon a Child'. Bella got a new stroller, her old one got broken at the airport.

Buckners is a very well known cave in the Bloomington area. It is currently about 3 miles of passage. Once you get through the initial crawlway the cave is fine. The crawlway is ~800' of belly crawl, I'm out of shape and this crawl in and out was very tough.
I was helping with a re-survey of this cave system, initiated by Sean Lewis. I worked with Bill Baus, and Paul ? I've not surveyed much and I learned some more today about it. I don't know what the total we shot today was, but we had most shots over 20 feet, and one was 40+.
I'd guess we had about 200'. Mostly crawlway, but some was open walkway.
I had an overall good time, although during the crawl in and out, I wondered what in the world I was doing!

We were in Bloomington Saturday! Weird, huh? We were looking for a toddler bed because Mr. Lucas now knows how to climb back into his crib!
