Reading assignment

Here is the latest in my sporadic effort to put up pictures I've published.  The National Speleological Society has made a huge effort to get much of its historical content online, and the Karst Portal is a big part of that. 

So, if you have never read my account of a trip to look at cave bats in Jamaica, now is your chance!  And it's actually not a bad read...

Go to:

http://www.karstportal.org/FileStorage/NSS_news/2005-v063-009.pdf

and you can read the original article.  The front cover, the back cover, and one of the full color pages in the middle are all my photos that go along with the many black and white photos in the article itself.

And for fun, here is the shot I did NOT use for the cover.  It just seemed that having two grown adults standing in practically sewage water covered in way stinky mud and stuff best not described in great detail...laughing at a joke one of the off-frame cavers made just wasn't the mood I was looking for.

I wish I had had one of those amazing, lightweight and fully collapsible harp traps when I was collecting in Borneo in the 1870's!

Well, now you CAN have a Cavesweeper for you adventures in Borneo and elsewhere. The trap in the photo was given to the Jamaican Caves Organization, and I am certain they would let you borrow it.
