Thanks for sharing the cave photo's Bull.  It would be great if you would tell cavers the story of the 'Ball of String'.  |

story of the string:
by request from Lynn roebuck;
the cave sets in west south west TN and is a maze cave of true proportion, to best describe it is to say, lay out several tic-tac-toe boards side by side and top to bottom then connect them,
so when you go in you hit a left, right, straight , go either direction and in a few feet you repeat, with a few side passages that do the same, being a well visited cave, some of the past visitors have taken to using a out dated habit of guide string,
or as some call it I'm lost string and as my Son calls it " idiot string" most of the idiots/people who have done this have left it behind, creating a tangled mess of crossing each other strings, on the last trip others and myself made in to the cave we got tired of tripping over the mess and decided to start removing, the 8 lb ball you see in the picture is what we ended up with, and it is only maybe 1/3rd of what is still in there, if any one wants to go some time and get more of it out there is no shortage of string to be found, we got 8lbs of it who can top it,

It would be good for anyone who helps collect the "idiot string" from this cave to donate it to the "idiot string ball of fame". ;D ;D
