Greetings fellow cavers!
I am looking for volunteers to assist with several project going on at Carter Caves State Resort Park in northeastern Kentucky during the period of June 22 through July 8. We are replacing three gates on Saltpetre Cave, building two new ones, downloading dataloggers, doing a little digging and rock removal, photodocumenting the work, and managing an environmental consulting company performing geoprobing over a closed entrance to the cave. We especially need help during the first part of the project in order to move all the steel and equipment and set up, although volunteers are needed throughout. Camping is available at the Park, and there are several motels nearby. We'll try to provide lunch each day for any volunteers that help out. If you have questions or need more details, contact me directly and not to the group. If you think you will be attending, please drop me a line to let me know who is coming and for what dates. This really helps me plan for meals and also to see what days we might be a little short on help.
I thank you, and the caves thank you.

Please feel free to announce this at grotto meetings, post on websites, reprint in newsletters, or forward to other lists that I may have overlooked.
