Saturday, February 1, 2020
Partcipants: Sue Bozeman, Duane Del Vecchio, Andrew & John VanDyke, Jon Woltz

At the start of the day we did not have permission from the northern landowners to enter their property so we did half of usual count of the Jester Cave System. This report only deals with this day's activities.
