Hmmm...never thought about a foldable in a cave.... Actually, I did take a ww kayak into a smallish river cave in southern Va. once. The passage soon got too narrow for the boat, though. The place I'd like to have one is Grady's, in Ky., which is a substantial river, but it doesn't have an entrance you could get a boat through. We carry in tubes or small rafts, and inflate them inside. Use ping-pong paddles, sometimes strapped to the ends of the walking sticks which we also carry in for wading on the rocky bottom. I don't think there's any cave water in Scotland big enough to paddle in. :-( e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Sep 10 1999 - 06:09:45 PDT
