ok then i think the best we can hope to do for lower algatn if any
is to tie one end of a 2400 foot line to the middle of the grate on
the cave entrance & the other end to the canoe
& to then run the full line out while paddling into the earth on a
bearing of 40 degrees east of due south
as can be visualized btw at topozone
while hoping the configuration of the cavern roof & the artificially
elevated water level dont force us to resort to scuba gear before
the line jerks taut
