The Rockcastle Karst Conservancy is sponsoring a cave clean up of the Sinks Of The Roundstone Cave in Rockcastle County, Kentucky on Saturday, October 29, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The Sinks of the Roundstone Cave is a popular cave and gathers lots of trash from careless visitors and from flood waters. The goal of the clean up project is to remove as much trash as possible. Please join us! Trash hauling bags, a dumpster and cave maps will be provided by RKC. Wear standard caving gear. The details will be available at www.rkci.org/cleanup/Yes, gasoline prices are outrageous. It costs more money than ever to drive to Rockcastle County. Please car pool. One lucky cave clean up participant will win a $50 gasoline card. That winner could be you! (Prize donated.) After the cave clean up there is a potluck dinner and costume Halloween Party at the Great Saltpetre Cave Preserve. The dinner and festivities begin at 5:30pm. On Sunday morning, October 30, Mike Huseman of GCG is giving a cave rescue "Patient Packaging" workshop for all interested persons.

Greetings Cavers, The Rockcastle Karst Conservancy clean up of the Sinks Of The Roundstone Cave was a success! Thank you to everyone that participated. Over 40 cavers attended and we nearly filled the dumpster with cave, stream and surface trash. The last crew in the cave reported having a difficult time finding trash. This is quite an accomplishment especially if you are familiar with how much trash can be in this cave. The following people participated: Bill Addington Thor Bahrman III Wayne Barton Ken Bonenberger Daniel Bower Jerry Brandenburg Janine Brown John Cassidy Tama Cassidy Hutson Combs Gerald Dixon James Dixon Bob Dobbs Cindy Dobbs John Ellerbrock Alan Fearday Traci Fearday Joe Gibson Chris Hacker Kenny Hedges Kim Hedges Austin Hedges Mike Huseman Vicki Huseman Pat Hutson Joetta Hutson Werner Jud Neena Jud Matt Keller Leanne McHenry Andy Niekamp Lisa Pruitt-Thorner James Renner Michael Rzesutock Dalene Smith Leah Stich Pete Stow Dana Sutherland Mike Wuerth Pat Yuellig Robert Yuellig Five raffle prizes were awarded. The winners were Neena Jud, Tama Cassidy, Janine Brown, Kenny Hedges and Wayne Barton. The Lexington Herald Leader newspaper sent a photographer to the cave clean up project. Three photos and a small paragraph about the cave clean up were printed in the Sunday, October 25 paper. Daniel Bower, Wayne Barton, Bob Dobbs and Jerry Dixon appear in the photos. You can read the story and see the photo(s) here: www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/13034005.htmThank you again to our participants and sponsors for making the RKC cave clean up a success!
