OK yesterday was kind of insane.The Black Brook cave was a potential killer in my opinion.As we entered the cave,there is a large pool you must skirt around or go thru.Problem is,in gypsum karst,this room was once circular.Now all you see is 1/2 the room,the lower half has several meters of mud,as proven by a team member going y to his waist in it less than 2 feet from the wall.As we shone lights into the center of the pool,we realized there was a hole,so a rock was tossed into it.I wish I was filming.The rock hit the ole,unplugged some crud,and for 10 seconds or so i looked into an abyss meters deep before the water clouded up.the mud would suck you in and hold you as you slid into the funnel like hole entrance.
But cavers dont stop just because some lame death trap.
We skirted the edge,clambered over a hunk of rotten gypsum (which was over 5 feet water)that crumbled as we went,and seen what no other have(maybe)As well,we found burned wood encased in the gypsum,the video I have isnt clear.We will be back with a boat to check it.And plenty of rubber patches.
More to come
