North Fork Passage: Miles with his drug of choice	Into the Rat Race	Bob prays to Mecca	Climbing into the Skeleton Domes
Typical Bratwurst scenery	Into virgin territory!	Moving through the narrow passage	Calcite spar crystals
Miles tries some creative lighting effects	Bob taking data	The weird Camel formation

The usual chaos Saturday morning at the Durbin Depot	Neither snow nor unplowed roads can keep us from our caving!	Me at the Windy Entrace	We rapped straight from the top of the sinkhole this time.
Tom comes down the pit. I don't know why the rope makes that sharp angle...	The flowstone traverse above the Rat Race on the way to the Skeleton Domes.	Tiny negotiates the tricky loop climb (10') in the Skeleton Domes	Tiny lingers at the base of the Skeleton Domes (30').
The Bratwurst passage is often profusely decorated!	Dwight in the Bratwurst passage from above	Tom occupies a gorgeous grotto	In the Bratwurst Formation Room, there are numerous acid-trip formations.
...and many pristine formations.	Back down the Skeleton Domes, this time via cable ladder.	The PQ survey team, ready to depart

Time for Lunch

Ben Madore retreats through a sharp-rimmed hole.

Two views of the Magic Carpet; a sheet of flowstone about 3' by 7' by 1/4" thick supported only on one edge.

Cave coral on the walls of an old pool now drained by a small lead in the floor. The old waterline is clearly visible.

Three samples of the formations above Medville Falls.

	Tom Kornack displays proper frog technique at the Window climb.
	Bob Zimmerman tests out the new bolt on the now-bypassed Mud Bridge climb.

	Madeline Li, Lew Carroll and Tom Kornack appear slimed but cheerful after a less-than-stellar survey trip.
	Tom Huette, Ralph and Tsai-Hong Hartley, Pat Bingham and Bob Zimmerman down some vittles at the Depot.
	They're Baa-aack! - Pat Bingham, Tom Kornack and Charles Danforth prepare to re-enter Cassell to retrieve Tom's errant vertical gear
