March HGRP
Location High Guads
Author William Tucker
Date March 3-4, 2012
A view from inside the cave

The March, 2012 HGRP was an opportunity to finish the survey at Emerald cave. At least, that was the lofty hope. On Saturday, March 3, 2012, we gathered at Virgin camp for instructions, permit and agreement signing and the necessary safety briefing. I should have paid more attention to the safety briefing.

I was assigned to continue work on the survey of Emerald Cave with the hope of completing the survey. I thought that there was still too much cave to finish; but, it could be close. Tammy Tucker, Mark Bulman, Lee Ann Dean and I were assigned the task. The rest went to Virgin cave for restoration work.

The landscape on the way to the cave

We left camp at 10:00 AM to drive to the parking area from which we would begin the hike. The hike is difficult and takes about 2 hours as there is no trail and the terrain is steep.
