Schoolhouse Cave Register
Retrieved from the cave on September 24th, 2005 by Gordon Brace, Paul Gillis, and Mike Frisina, of the Germany Valley Karst Survey.

The book stinks! And it is leaving a nasty taste in my mouth!
The book is 4 by 7 inches in size, and has a fallen-off cardboard cover. The page numbering is entirely arbitrary; no marks where made on the register book itself.

Is for the most part totally unreadable.

George,
All I can say is WOW. What an enourmous task. Kudos to you for taking it on. It's interesting the sort of things people write in a cave register.

Wow! Reading that register brought back some memories for me and the trip I took there with Andy Huttner and Bill Friend. I'm afraid ole Andy was somewhat traumatized from that trip!
