Well things have been exciting in TAG during the last couple of weeks.
During Halloween Weekend Tony Poteete, Buddy Gibson, Mark Joop, Shawn Roark, Loretta and Mike
Bose found a new 117 foot pit in Pickett Co, Tennessee. Just one week later David Cole,
Doug Strait, Andy Zellner, Sharon Faulkner, and Andy Porter found two new virgin parallel
hundred footers (114' and 110') in Dripping Drop, Tennessee. (More Here)
Concurrent with all this activity, several groups have been out bouncing 100 footers. This
interest in 100 footers has generated a controversey on
TAG-NET. A comment was made that
pits near the 100 foot range are not "deep". This struck a nerve and many flaming rebuttles were
lodged. Well lost in all this flame is the fact that three 100 footers were found within one
week! This is significant just in the fact only a hadfull of pits over 100 feet exist and
only a few are found in any given year. So far seven 100 footers have been found that were publisized this
year. There are roughly 440 know pits over 100 feet deep in TAG caves. The year is drawing to a close
so get out there and find more!
