Pettyjohn Cave Survey trip

March 31, 2007 by Hubert.

Buddy Davis and I mapped another 111 feet below the Signature room to a nice formation room.  This area has been known for some time and showed slight traffic, but was not on any map.  Someone has already written on the ceiling but the formation appear to be OK.

I also took several rolls of flim to add to the collection of photos in the virtual cave that I have on line.  I hope to have the updates on line next month.

The Pettyjohn Cave level survey length is now 36,226 feet, 6.8 miles.  I believe that a little effort with clean up mapping, this could be a 7 mile cave.  In recient years Schreiber’s extension has been extended and a new section above the Amamatosis room was mapped.
