NOVEMBER POTLUCKBen Tompkins

About 32 people attended theNovember Potluck at Dr. Halliday's houseon the 21st, including cavers from theOregon Grotto, VICEG, and a number offormer Cascade Grotto members.

After doing our best to decimate thefood supply, we had a short meeting tonominate officers for the coming year. Wealso voted to include a survey with theballot to determine the meeting nightpreferred by grotto members.

At that time Dr. Halliday made amotion that the grotto oppose the currentwording of the Federal Cave ProtectionLaw. Charlie Larson, of the OregonGrotto, also spoke briefly on why thatgroup opposes the current wording. Bothspeakers support the need and intent ofthe law. The Cascade Grotto has alreadygone on record as supporting the currentbill. Bob Brown suggested that everyoneread the text of the law and form theirown opinions before the grotto reverses itsearlier decision and opposes its parentorganization.

Dick Garnick and Jeff Forbes wereshowing slides as I left and video equip-ment was being set up. People wereconverging on the food counter againwhen I came back in to grab my saladbowls. Many thanks to Jim Harp forputting together a successful potluck andto Dr. Halliday for the use of his house.

BEST NIGHT FOR MEETINGSLarry McTigue

We've had many heated discussionsover the years as to which night of theweek is best for holding our monthlygrotto meetings. It was Monday night formany years and then moved to Tuesdays.Most recently we've been meeting onFridays. There will always be conflictswith someone's schedule no matter whichnight we choose.

84

I think Friday nights are best forseveral reasons. Most importantly, itallows members living outside the Seattlearea time to get to the meetings and ifnecessary, spend the night in Seattle.Secondly, it allows us to plan monthlycave trips where everyone, including outof town members, could get together forthe weekend following the meeting. Sinceit is only once a month, there are still allthe other Fridays and weekends in themonth to party and go on your own cavetrips.

Thirdly, and most important to me,Fridays are the only night during the weekthat I don't work in the evenings. So ifyou want to see me there, vote forFridays!

ADVENTURE AT WINDY CREEKJerry Thompson

On Saturday morning, September19th, several Cascade Grotto cavers wereto be found on various ridges on theflanks of Washington Monument just southof Mount Baker. Dick Garnick, LarryMcTigue, and Rob Lewis had driven upafter Friday night's grotto meeting and. camped on a karst ridge just south of themonument. On Saturday morning JerryThompson, Jim and Amanda Harp, andJennifer Strong drove directly to theWindy Creek "trail head" via Scott Paperroads.

While Dick, Larry, and Rob weredoing some early morning cave hunting,the larger group headed for the WindyCreek Cave. At the cave area Jim andJerry prepared to climb to Hole in the SkyCave. Amanda and Jennifer tried RobertsCave but after getting a whiff of theporcupine den decided to explore theentrance maze in Windy Creek Cave. Dickand Rob soon joined Jim and Jerry whileLarry spent his efforts digging in thenearby resurgence.

Getting to Hole in the Sky Caverequires a near-vertical climb of more thanten meters up through a hole in anoverhang into a roomy entrance chamber.

f

.,

This chamber is about 2m wide, 3m high,and 13m long with both ends plugged withsoil. The dirt on the north end containedlive roots and digging was difficult. Onthe other end the plug contained fewerroots and more humus making the diggingeasier. It looked as though it would takea lot of digging to turn the chamber intoa cave. While we were there we observedat least two species of moth and two bats,not identified.

Around 2:25 p.m. we turned ourattention to Windy Creek Cave and withinan hour small groups were visiting theformation area. One bold group, lead byRob Lewis, pushed through to the Bear Pitfrom the Lead Room. Rob disappearedinto the little crack with such ease thathe seemed to float into it horizontally.He was followed by Jennifer Strong, afirst-time caver, who got stuck about ameter after entering the crack. With Robpushing on one side and the rest of uspulling on the other, she was soon freeand able to back out of the crack. Thegutsy young woman reentered the crackonly moments later and followed Robthrough to roomier passages. Her constantcommentary while moving through themore difficult parts kept the rest of usexcited and entertained.

Amanda bravely followed, refusing tobe frightened by reports from the crack.Normally a soft-spoken lady, Amanda alsofound a good deal to talk about in thispassage. After taking note of the bearbones, the group returned even moregracefully than they had gone in.

While leaving the cave, Dick Garnickentered a passage that he felt may havebeen previously overlooked because itwould normally be below water level in themain stream passage. As he followed thepassage it began to gain elevation. Heturned around after About ten meters butthe passage continued, still gainingelevation.

After spending a little over fourhours in WINDY Creek Cave, the entiregroup hastened to Sedro Woolley and theCascade Pizza. There they quickly tookcare of two large Cascade Specials, one

pitcher of lager, and several pitchers ofpop.

BACK TO WASHINGTON MONUMENTJerry Thompson

Early on the morning of September26, Jim Harp and Jerry Thompson droveback up the Grandy Creek Road to meetDick Garnick and his friend Diana at theGrandy Lake Campground. Dick had beensuffering from a cold and after hearingthe rain beat on the canopy of his truckfor so many hours elected to forego thelong slog in the wet brush in favor ofsome serious recuperating elsewhere.

Jim and Jerry spent about forty-fiveminutes examining the southern portion ofthe karst area then dropped to the resur-gence just north of the Windy Creekentrance. Next they climbed to a hole inthe wall that was noticed the previousweek about thirty feet above the resur-gence. It was just that, a hole, half ameter in diameter and about a meter deep.It was choked with dirt at the back butno attempt was made to dig it deeper.

From there they followed the bottomof the cliff south from Windy Creek andRoberts Caves. About 100 meters souththey located what they believed to beUnnamed Cave B, described in the WindyCreek Cave issue of the Cascade Caver.Jim was able to force himself about 14meters back into the narrow passage. Thecave was dry with piles of fresh leavesand feces suggesting recent habitation bya porcupine-sized mammal. No quills werenoticed, however. Moths were present inmoderate numbers and at least one unusualarachnid was seen.

After about 40 minutes in the smallcave the cavers returned to the karst areavia a well used elk path leading upthrough the cliffs. The picked a fewoyster and coral mushrooms and made itback to Everett in time for Jim to havedinner with his family.

WINDY CREEK CAVE FAST AND DIRTYJerry Thompson

On Sunday, October 4, Jim Harp andJerry Thompson returned to Windy CreekCave to check out the lead found by DickGarnick a couple of weeks earlier. At thecave register they learned that two partieshad been to the cave the day before.

Jim forced his way into Dick's littlepassage and got about as far as Dick had.Jim felt that even a very small caverwould have difficulty going on from there.

Jim and Jerry returned to the mainpassage and just within a few meterslocated the "Upper Stream Passage". Theyfollowed this to where it opens to theceiling of the "Waiting Room". A shortside trip lead to the "Twin Dome Pits".About midway along the upper streampassage they passed through a small areadecorated with soda straws but most ofthis passage is very narrow and muddy.

After less than three hours in thecave the two were muddy enough and hadseen enough of the cave that was new tothem to justify leaving the Bear Pit foranother day. They sped back to Everettin time for Jim to surprise his wife byhaving dinner prepared for her, a tacticcalculated to help assure another couple oftrips yet this season.

CASCADE AND HELLHOLE CAVESSue Brenner

Cavers: Sue Brenner, Larry McTigue,Joe Senulis, Mark Sherman, and RichardWalter.

I had planned to go backpacking inthe Olympics, but it didn't take muchbesides the threat of rain and the chanceto go caving to change my mind. Markpicked me up and off we headed toAlpental. With Mark was Joe, a member ofthe WisconsinSpeleogical Sociey. We metLarry McTigue at Alpental and were soonheaded up the "trail". It was very steep,wet, muddy, slippery, and a real chal-lenge. I think Mark said it was about

86

2800' vertical in about in two miles and Ikept thinking we were almost there.

Finally we arrived and so had aCanadian member of our grotto, RichardWalter. He had been avidly looking forcaves and waiting for us. We sat downand enjoyed lunch and the views of theTooth and Chair Peak. We had a short"before" picture session of me in my whitecoveralls and bug hat then descended intoCascade Cave.

I'm not very good at describing thecave. I remember lots of dirt, chimneys,tight places, some flow stone and moredirt, but I can't give a complete accountof our itinerary. I remember some of thejokes though, and some of the horrorstories. Richard kept saying that ifanything really bad happened, we couldeven get our names in the NSS News. OHBOY!! Luckily Mark was an excellentguide, or I'd probably still be down theretelling jokes and complaining about coldfeet. Or worse yet, STUCK! There weresome tight places where my beautiful, handembroidered white overalls managed tosnag on the rocks, catching me and mybattery pack in a stationary position.Finally I realized that I'd have to pushthe battery pack ahead of me in thosetight places.

By the time we reemerged fromCascade Cave it was about 4:00. The sunwas still shining, prompting the comment,"I wonder what the cave would look likein the dark". We decided to drop into theback entrance of Hellhole to see theallophane formations. Since it was gettinglate we took a few pictures and leftHellhole. The trip back to the car wasuneventful; everyone kept poking theirnoses into small caves on the way backbut luckily the bears weren't home.

It had been a fun roll in the mud butI didn't have white overalls any more.

CASCADE AND HELLHOLE CAVES18 July 1987Joe Senulis

(Note: Taken from the WISCONSIN CAVER,September 1987, with the same cast ofcharactors as above)

This was a Cascade Grotto trip thatI crashed, being out that way for aconference. We went up to Cave Ridge, inthe Cascade Range. The hike up was quitebeautiful, with the spring flowers juststarting to bloom (the trilliums had yet tobud). The caves were about a mile and ahalf away, and 2000 feet up. The trailended in a hanging valley containing a fewpockets of snow. It was like going up toPopp's cave ten times over. Richard cameup on his own, and did not know thatthere was a trail. His jokes and bad punswere a welcome addition.

The caves were in highly metamor-phosed limestone (it looked like marble tome), capped by granite and containingigneous intrusions. The rock was quitejagged, and where it was clean of mud,the marble was similar to leopard spots.The mud supplemented Sue's designerwardrobe of white coveralls, violet socks,crimson knee-pads, and one black elbow-pad. (She started caving in California.)

Cascade Cave developed mostlyvertically, but with not too much climbingnecessary. The original entrance was onthe tight side, and with all of the large-entranced caves on the ridge, was notmentioned in Caves of Washington.

Speleothems were not abundant, butwere very nice when present including afine example of boxwork.

Since we were running short of time,we only took a quick trip into the backentrance of Hellhole to see some interest-ing allophane speleothems. The entrancehad a nice tight spot in it that seemed tocatch on anything possible. The allophaneranged in color from dull orange to brightred to near black, and formed finelyrippled coatings and draperies.

The trip down the ridge was mucheasier than the climb up, except for theknees. However, a thunderstorm heading

Cascade Caver Vol 26 No.9, Nov-Dec 1987

our way was cause for concern. Midweststorms may be more violent, but we wereawfully exposed to lightning up there.

SKAGIT COUNTY TALKSJohn Clardy

On a warm May 9th at 11:30 I amparked along National Forest Road 14above Jackman Creek and began a seriesof blowing hole digs. Rock retaining wallsmark my sites. A passing road grader wasmy only company. No excavation advancedmore than a few feet before meeting rocktoo large to roll away. One hole besidemile marker post four does make a greatbeer cooler.

I put away my tools at 7 pm andscouted the mountainside above the digsfor an hour. About fifty feet above theroadbed a cliff face fissure nearly sevenfeet high and twelve inches wide wasblasting out cold wind. It might go if Istay on my diet plan. Uphill amid largemossy boulders I observed a shieldspeleothem in a dry dusty grotto. Furtheron were three sinks. A tiny depression inheavy brush presented a vertical entrancesome ten feet deep and contained some-thing that carried off the stones that Idropped. Close at hand is a large sinkwhich evidently ate several tons of rockrecently in cataclysmic fashion. Accident-ly falling into a third sink cost me mytrousers. I didn't mind. Friends, I thinkthat mountainside is trying to tell ussomething.

DECLIVITOUS PRACTICE SITE,WHATCOM COUNTY

John Clardy

Depart Interstate-5 at Exit 250 inBellingham. Drive West 1.2 miles on ValleyParkway. Turn South at Chuckanut Drive(State Highway 11). Proceed 4.5 miles toCove Road which is posted as the Chuck-anut State Park Boat Ramp route. ThePark entrance occurs 0.3 miles along CoveRoad .

The Boat ramp site does not have anentrance fee, drinking water, or restrooms.

87

Locate a gravel path leaving the uphillparking lot to the B. N. railbed, walkSouth on the rails for fifty feet and climbthe hillside on the right. Five minutesfrom the parking lot should see you atop abeautiful sandstone climbing face.

Excellent natural rig points areavailable. A one hundred and fifty footrope will serve nicely. Several bolts dotthe exposure but intermediate skill levelclimbers may ascend without aides. Basicrock skill level climbing is sporting. Anice sandy beach flanks the cliff base buthigh tide rappel practice can use a ledgeor two to keep dry. Prusik involves wallcontact. A small rope pad and ten feet ofline is suggested.

State Park management has noclimbing. restrictions at present so be nice.Good campground facilities are availableelsewhere in the park, including hotshowers, and appreciative onlookers forYo-Yo extroverts.
