LRG Lending Library

We continue to work toward establishing a library of caving-related materials; currently, lending requirements are being established and a list of available documents is being compiled; Jeff Bartlett has just finished scanning all of the old LRG newsletters for the archive.

Sara Danchenko has graciously volunteered for the position of librarian (insert evil laughter). If you'd like to donate to the library, you may email electronic materials or mail printed materials to:

Survey & Cartography Projects

Chinn Springs Cave
LRG's largest (and most passionately pursued) ongoing project, with 6.0 miles of cave currently documented (from 8.4 miles of total data & 100 surveys over the last 20 years). Jeff Bartlett has been sloooowwwly drafting the map since the beginning of 2008, focusing on correcting issues in the stream-level survey. If you'd like to be a part of recurring exploration & survey trips, contact Dewayne Agin.

 

Example cave maps by LRG members:

    Helen's Cave (Eddy County, NM)

 

Survey and cartography is a primary interest of several LRG members. We're always working on something, and most of our projects can't be discussed here. Contact us and come to a meeting if you'd like to participate!
