Dig14(1/24/98) went well. Eddie Simmons delivered three C-shaped pieces of steel pipe to the site. Greg Buckley, Doug Feakes, Greg Fry, Jim Fowler, Rick Hines, Ron Lather, Eddie Simmons, Carl Wagner, and Gary Bennett helped set the largest of the 3 pieces below the existing 16' of pipe. Buckley trimmed dirt from the side of the hole to make room for the new steel. Feakes welded the new section in place.
The next dig will be Feb.14 and 15. We will set one more 7' section of steel and then start digging. Feakes will bring a cutting torch and Eddie will bring the welder. If you know anyone interested in helping have them call me (816 / 897 - 4258).
On Jan.24 I stopped at the house southwest of the dig and introduced myself to the lady of the house. She grimaced slightly when I told her we were trying to dig into Carroll Cave. Her name is Crystal Carroll. Her husband, a native of area, was not home.
The second meeting of the CCC will be at Greg Buckley's, at noon on Saturday Feb. 21.
