OSUT #242 - A day without laughter is a day wasted

[ancjr]

I knew a lot of southern IN was a karst area.

Well if you look along that line, you have Mammoth Cave, Marengo Cave, Squire Boone Caverns, Horse Cave, Onyx Cave, Blue River Caverns ... and that's just the commercial caves I can remember off the top of my head. Hoosier National Forest is chock full of unmarked caves.

Not Blue River Caverns its Bluespring Caverns...

That's beautiful target! It looks like Bakelite?
A buff set-up will take your finish to excellence. It's pretty close, but an axial buff will remove those fine scratches, and your shine will be amazing.

It is Italian Acrylic. I only sanded to 400 and did a fast polish. I need to get a buffing setup

We used to go spelunking in Scouts. Sullivan Cave, Trapdoor and Buckner's were the ones we went to I think. All kind of out in the middle of nowhere. I went to Buckner's as an adult in my 20's. It had some challenging areas. We used carbide lamps back then on our hardhats.

I used to do a lot of buffing. It's kind of relaxing.

And nice photo too, target.
I lack that skill.

No skill just got lucky. Just using an ipad

Beck's Mill Cave is the most dangerous one I've ever been in. I know there are more demanding caves, but that was the one that let me know I needed to stay on the beaten path from then on. Was mentioning it this morning.

A playlist of local caves:

Spring Mill has 5 caves I think... at least one of them is too dangerous to explore. Full of slimey mud and prone to flash floods.

Some of the guided tour caves look like they might be good places to take the grandkids for a day trip. I'm too old and fat to have to belly crawl through passages too low to wear my hardhat and having to push it along in front of me.

I forgot Wyandotte Cave and Indiana Caverns.

Me too. I'd get stuck like a cork.

We did a school trip to Wyandotte when I was in 3rd or 4th grade I think. I forget.

Just had some stuffed spinach and ricotta manicotti. Yum.

This was homemade by my sister. She's a better cook than me. Far better.
