Re: May Resto Camp Signup
Hi Brian!
Loved the bit on Colleen.? ?The picture tugged. Jerry's project is completed so an alteration to the writeup would be appropriate.?
Love the countdown clock too!??
We will have fun in Crystal hog wallow. Will be wild!? Say, that's pretty catchy...
Best, TOR?
OK, resto cavers how are we possibly going to top March Camp? I know, let¡¯s make it into the cave! But you can¡¯t make it into the cave if you don¡¯t sign up. Sign up for May Camp starts tonight, or more precisely tomorrow at 12:01 AM. You can find the signup link below or at . For the May camp, we will be staying at beautiful Hamilton Valley, home of the CRF. We will be sharing the facility with a small group of CRF cavers so if you are not camping or staying in town you may need to bunk up with a friend. While I don¡¯t know everything we will be working on I do know there is the possibility that we will have a pretty awesome objective that will be new to everyone. As I get more details I will share it with the group, but what I do know is that we will need to prepare to get muddy, and not just a little muddy but a lot muddy. If getting muddy in Mammoth sounds like your jam, this is the camp to sign up for. Can¡¯t wait to see you all at Mammoth.
Cheers, Brian

Re: March Resto Camp cancellation --full report
Wow Gary. Beware the Ides of March! Not sure what the problem was back then. Maybe murderous people with knives.? Glad you made it through OK even if it was close at times.
Best, Rick?
For those who might be interested in a more detailed play-by-play, here's what happened at Resto Camp on Friday, Mar. 3, 2023.
Most of the few who made it to Maple Springs told me they experienced bad weather getting there --no surprise-- but here's my tale.
As I approached the Interstate 24 'on ramp' at Paducah, Kentucky, I rolled down my car window a bit because I thought I heard an ambulace siren that strangely sounded unlike any Chicago-area ambulance siren.
But it wasn't an ambulance--it was a city-wide tornado warning siren!
I got onto I-24 anyway, thinking I would 'out run' the dark grey clouds in my rear view mirror.
I was wrong.
Heavy rain overtook me like I'd never experienced it before. Yes, my wipers were on 'high' the entire time, but it nearly didn't matter. Yes, there were cars parked beneath the highway overpasses with their flashers turned on.
It wasn't just rainy, but it also was windy like I'd never experienced. All you could do was slow down, be safe, and get there alive --was the mindset of everyone on the road, both car and semi-truck alike.
About 30-minutes into the harrowing drive East, there was a medium-sized SUV right in front of me (in the left lane), but a moderate distance ahead, for safety. As the vehicle began to slowly come even with and overtake a semi-truck in the right lane, I watched in horror as the rear of the SUV suddenly got blown to the left.
Keep in mind the torrential rain and the incredible wind. The SUV hydroplaned on the water-soaked road and seemed to purposely drive across the right lane, then across the paved shoulder, and then straight into the ditch --by then going backwards! (This is happening right in front of me!) As I passed the poor motorist, the car careened up the other side of the embankment, sideways, with muddy water and pieces of sod flying wildly into the air.
But the car did not flip over, and it seemed the driver lucked out. It was too treacherous for me to see much else in my mirrors--my heart was pounding and I was gripping my steering wheel for dear life.
A couple miles down the road was a highway weigh station, where I saw a State Trooper do a U-turn, presumably heading to assist the one-car spinout accident. Wow.
Although the rain seemed to let up a little when I exited the interstate and headed toward Nolin Dam, the wind was still blowing hard.
As I made my way down the 2-lane roads to reach Maple Springs (the 'back way'), there were no fewer than four times traffic came to a stop or serious slowdown due to giant trees that had fallen across the roadway.
One tree was about three feet in diameter, and there were about 10 vehicles stopped in both directions. Luckily, however, a guy who had a chainsaw in his pickup truck had just finished cutting through the massive log, and several other men rolled the logs to the shoulder.
I arrived at Maple to find that the electricity had gone out a couple hours prior. Ugh.
Brian pointed out how a section of a very tall, dead tree right in front of the Maple Springs barn sliding door had crashed down and damaged the eave of the barn roof.
As several of us stood around, there were massive blowing gusts that made so much noise in the teetering trees all around us, we had to keep a constant watch as twigs, leaves and sometimes small branches rained down on us (and parked cars).
At that point, due to the danger of more trees falling onto cars parked in the little gravel parking area, Brian recommended that the vehicle owners more their cars to the front lawn, well away from any trees that might fall over.
Suddenly, a massive 80-foot-tall tree between the rear of the Maple Springs barn and the 'bat house'? uprooted and crashed to the ground, narrowly missing the rear of the barn.
A little while later, Brian received a phone call that some Resto cavers were unable to reach Maple Springs due to fallen trees on the north Green River Ferry Road (toward the former 'Forks' convenience store).
Two vehicles containing Brian, John Kirk, Dave and Dee Boerma and Gary set out down the Maple Springs Loop road and turned left at the stop sign. But we stopped in our tracks because we coud immediately see massive fallen trees across the Green River Ferry Road in BOTH directions. We were 'trapped'!
A short time later, Rick Toomey informed Brian that a decision had been made to close Mammoth Cave (and the entire park) for the rest of Friday AND for all of Saturday, to leave roadways open for forestry workers to clear all the fallen timber.
We heard that the back roads near Cub Run had downed power lines and that all county roads were nearly impassable.
As a consequence, Resto Camp was canceled and we were asked to leave the Park property.
It took about three hours from when that decision was made for foresters to cut through trees across the Green River Ferry Road in at least a dozen different spots to create at least a single-lane escape route.
By 6:30pm, we were all cleared out of Maple and directed to the Green River Ferry, which was operating just for us and the foresters.
Brian remarked to me how we've had 'bad luck' at the March Resto Camp for the last three years, in one form or another.
Thanks everyone for understanding about the cancellation, but there's nothing we can do about such acts of nature.
See you in May!

Regretfully, due to multiple downed trees in both directions of the access road, March resto camp is canceled, also Mammoth cave itself is closed as of this moment and all day tomorrow. Word came down from Rick to me about this and Brian is in agreement. Sorry everyone, see you in may!

Resto Camp Protocol and Info Guide
First time resto cavers please read! Just a little over three days until what is no doubt going to be in the top 4 Mammoth Cave Resto events of 2023! We have some great tasks lined up to get the cave ready for its big event at the end of April. The weather looks like it¡¯s going to be good, and I can¡¯t wait to see all of my resto family both old (in resto years) and new. Speaking of new, at recent camps we have had many new and newly returning resto cavers. I for one remember how awkward it was to show up the first time and not know where to go or what the protocol is. To that end, it is my great pleasure to present to you the Resto Camp Protocol and Info Guide. This amazing 5-page manual to resto camp covers all the information that any new or returning resto caver could need. ¡°But Brian, where do I sleep?¡± Check the guide. ¡°Brian, what's the plan for dinner Saturday night?¡± It¡¯s in the guide? ¡°Brian, how are the chickens?¡± Not in the guide, but doing great. ¡°Brian, where do we meet Saturday morning, and at what time?¡± It¡¯s in the guide along with so much more! A huge thanks to resto¡¯s very own Grateful Gary for helping me put this together. It wouldn¡¯t have gotten done (or put online) if not for his help and guidance. Without further ado, the guide can be found at the following link, at restoremammoth.com, or attached to this email. Enjoy and see you all soon. ? ?

Maybe he's here looking for his lost chickens...?
Malta is a village in DeKalb County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,143 at the 2020 census.?
Can you send us a selfie to PROVE that you're in Malta?
Perhaps at the grocery, holding some Malta vinegar... or at a pub with some Malta liquor... or at soda shop drinking a chocolate Malta?
PS - does Malta have any caves?

Re: El Mazatlan, Friday @ 5:30 PM
Brian, 605 will be there with 3 Scouts and 2 leaders including me. See You!! Not for dinner though. Ken
As most of you know for weekend camps, we usually head to El Mazatl¨¢n on Saturday night. Well guess what, the ferry is down so we are going on Friday. Instead of having to drive to Maple Springs after a long day of work and then having to head back to Cave City for dinner on Saturday, we are going to make it easier and head to El Maz on Friday. ? Anyone that is on their way to Maple, already in town, friends of the camp, or just wants to have some good Mexican food we will be there Friday starting at 5:30. ? Looking forward to seeing you all there. ? Brian

Re: Regrets for this weekend :(
Gary,
Hoping you have seen the worst of it. I¡¯m still recovering from the affects of Covid after 5 weeks. Keep hydrated and do as much deep breathing that you can. I got pneumonia in both lungs and it was worse than Covid.
Let us know if we can do anything for you from afar.?
Thank you,
Liz

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone --I can really use them!
Update: I'm feeling pretty bad today... stuffy head, hurts to swallow, loss of appetite, headache (but no 'fever')
This is just Day #2 --hoping each successive day sees some improvement (--remains to be seen!)
cheers :)

Hi Resto friends,
I had some bad luck and will be unable to join you all for the upcoming Restoration weekend.
Although I received the 3rd Covid booster shot (on Sept. 14), I have come down with the virus --for the first time throughout the pandemic.
I spent last weekend audio sound-engineering at a large event in the ballroom of the Hilton/St. Louis that had 166 people from across the U.S. and several foreign countries in attendance. I took a self-test on Monday
that indicated 'negative' for Covid. But then my health took a 180-degree turn for the worse overnight and (yesterday) I tested POSITIVE. :(
I'll be quarrantining for the next five days, including this weekend.
I wish you all a great time, hope you get a lot done and I'll see you at the Spring weekend!
cheers,
-Gary

Re: November Restoration Camp
Hi Brian!
Count me in if it is not too late. Sadly, I think my sourdough culture has gone bad Pink stuff after I thawed it.? No bubbles since then...
Could you bring me some?
Here's a bunch of plant fossils in sandstone in a cave near Locust Grove cemetery last Sunday.?
Best, Rick?
Boy howdy the weather is changing fast and that can mean only one thing, it¡¯s almost time for November Weekend Camp on November 5th and 6th! Don¡¯t forget that signup starts this Saturday, October 1st at 12:01 EST. November is one of the best times to be at Mammoth and the beautiful Fall weather usually means plenty of time around the fire pit. We will be at Maple Springs, and I can¡¯t wait to see you all there. You can signup at?or visit??for more information. ? Brian
