   In case it isn't public knowledge yet, Roppel cave is now just
another part of Flint Ridge-Mammoth.  The forty-odd miles of
surveyed passage in Roppel should bring the total to something
in the neighborhood of 300 miles.  The connection was made by
a joint CRF-CKKC team through the downstream end of Logsdon's
river to connect to upper Hawkins river in the Procter-Morrison's
area of Mammoth. Look for further details in the NSS News.
    It is likely the Fisher Ridge System will be connected to
the world's longeset cave through Fisher Ridge Special area of
Roppel adding approximately another 30 miles to the total very soon
if cave politics don't prevent it.
