Jim Harp was elected to theVice Chairman spot and will also soon betaking over the Grotto Store from ~Brkand Ben. Relieved of this weighty res-ponsibility, Mark and Ben are free tocontinue as editors of the CascadeCaver. Al Lundberg continues his stintas Treasurer and Ben Tompkins waselected Regional Representative.

Jim Harp has been looking aroundfor a new place for the grotto to meet.If anyone has suggestions pleasecontact Jim. Meanwhile, it was voted tomove the meeting time to 7:00 pm, onehour earlier, beginning with the ~rchmeeting.

Funds that were voted for supportof the National Cave Protection Law andalso for the Northwest Cave ResearchInstitute have been sent.

February: No suitable meetingplace has been found yet. According tothe 1Teasurer the annual report has beenfiled and the treasury currentlycontains $110.

Tom Miller showed slides fromlast trip to Belize to complementreports in the Cascade Caver.slides were followed by a moviethe eruption of Mt. St. Helens.

CAVE MANAGEMENT SYNPOSIUMBen Tompkins, Regional Rep.

This regional symposium was thefirst of several cave nBnagementtraining seminars being held in theUnited States this year to bringtogether cavers and cave managers ineach region of the country. It washosted by the Salt Lake Grotto under theadmirable direction of Kirsten Stork andI would like to tl1ankeverybody involvedfor their hospitality and the quality ofthe program. Somewhere below you willfind a list of the materials I broughtback and I'll leave it to you to guesshow many dead-weight tons I had crammedin my briefcase on the way home.

The business meeting of the Nor-thwest Regional Caving Association washeld. at the end of the first day ofspeakers. The first item up was theNorthwest Cave Research Institute andthe Bighorn cave project. The regionalrepresentatives discussed whether tojoin the Institute, donate to theproject or both. In the end no actionwas taken because several of the grottoshad just gotten the project descriptionand had had no chance to discuss itthemselves.

The joint regional idea seems to bestill up in the air. The eastern Nevadasite is apparently already spoken forbut two other sites were suggested thatmight accommodate a joint regional.

Another issue of the Northwestcaver has just come out and editorshipis being passed to Jean Cassidy in SaltLake City. Funds have been committedfrom the NCA coffers for the next issueall that's needed now is more articles.You prolific authors out there who arehoarding your material waiting for apublication with a wider distributionthan the Cascade Caver, this is it.This is your chance.

I brought home the following mate-rials from the symposium. They are partof my personal library but I managed topick up extra copies of about 20% of it

CAVING INCREASING IN HAWAIIWilliam R. Halliday, H.D.

Suddenly caves and caving are inthe public eye in Hawaii. Local give-away publications are full of cavereferences and photos perhaps because ofsome ill-fated publicity given localexplorers a couple of years ago in whatmay be part of Kazumura Cave.Commercial trips to sea caves andsubmerged lava caves are being activelypromoted. American Dive Hawaii'sbrochure shows divers in a submergedlava tube. Another cave in the Konaarea is depicted in an article in anissue of Hawaii, which is a bimonthlypublication of Hawaiian Air. Kauai 'sfar~ousFern Grotto is heavily advertisedby the companies that run boat trips toit (worth seeing once, although only agrotto.) Two separate boat tourservices based on Kauai have photo adsof trips into sea caves on the Na Palicoast. New books on Kauai and Mauimention other caves in the Na Pali areaand in Haleakala. About all that seemsto have been dropped fronlthe throwawaysof 10 years ago are references to"l\ncientburial caves which still existallover the islands of Hawaii."Kaumana Cave in a county park near Hilois, like Ape Cave, essentiallyundeveloped but numerous local peopleget their start caving here. Over theyears, a lot of caving has been donevery quietly in the islands, much of itfor the purposes of robbing burialcaves. ~bre recently there is reason tobelieve that electric lights are beingused to grow marijuana in at least oneBig Island cave.

So with increasing urbanization ofthe cave areas of Puna and Kona, theHawaii caves Conservation Task Force oftileN.S.S. is urgently looking for waysto preserve the unique scientific, cul-tural, and recreational values of theHawaiian caves. Thus in December 1984,I met in Honolulu with Frank Howarth andEarl Neller and in Hilo with J<'redStone

to discuss what might be done. Onedistinct possibility is an invitationalcave management symposium in late 1985or in 1986, perhaps in Hilo. The taskforce will probably in the near futureintensify their systematic inventory ofthe caves, at least of Oahu and Hawaii.

As part of this inventory, Earl,~~rcia, and I mapped Judd Street Cave inHonolulu. It turned out to be even morecomplex (and muddy) than I had expectedfrom my July reconnaissance. Part of myfield notes are illegible and recheckingwill be necessary. About 4 inches ofwater was standing in the junction roan.The cave is on state land and isofficially listed as a burial cavereserve although the cave is so badlytrashed that no evidence of burialsseems to be preserved. It has about 350feet of passages which are mostly crawl-ways. We came out so muddy that we hadto go to Waikiki Beach State Park towash up rather than the hotel theonly time on the entire trip that we gotinto the water.

On the Big Island, Fred and I had alook at a cave near Volcano whose localname has not been determined. For themoment I am calling it T-Tuhe. It isentered via a 30-foot free rappel andhas several no~~ble lavafalls withplunge pools at their bases. Down-tubewe stopped at a lavafall which is 40 or50 feet high and led to a skylight. Up-tube it is necessary to step across along gap at the top of a 20-foot lava-fall which cascaded to the floor of theentrance grotto. I chickened out be-cause there was no belay and I could seethat there was already one skeleton atthe bottom. This cave appears to demon-strate extensive erosion in red granularlave, somewhat like Ape Cave, and thusis of unusual geological interest.

After a quick snack in Volcano, weheaded for Jolm Hartin I s Cave where wevisited and photographed a few thousandfeet but did not find the orangepahoehoe floor so spectacularly photog-raphed by the Allreds a few years ago.


We emerged after dark and Marciawas unsure about finding her \'1ayback tothe car because the orchid grass washigher than her head. But Fred and Iwere tall enough to see the lights ofJohn's house so navigation was not thatmuch of a problem. John Martin himselfwas on the mainland but his caretakerswere home.

Caving in Hawaii has its ownspecial problems so cavers. planning togo underground anywhere except in thetourist caves should contact one of theHawaiian Caves Conservation Task Forcemembers in advance: Frank (Francis)Howarth, Earl Neller, or John Martin.

rnmer learn of our trip, so we enteredafter dark. This should also lessen theaccuracy with which the rnmer could firehis shotgun.

Without lights, we stumbled for amile through fields and forest to thestream entrance. The winter sky wasclear and temperatures were -10 oC orbelow. To prepare for the low ducksjust inside, I wore only shorts and anylon oversuit, dragging the rest of myclothes behind in a well tied garbagebag. We passed through a series ofducks .•.,ith only a few centimeters of airspace. The only reason I was sure thatthe water was still above freezing wasthat it was not yet solid. Finally wewere stopped for lack of air space.Steve confirmed that the duck ahead hadinexplicably sumped while Gary and Ishivered uncontrollably.
