AA CAVE (Cooke 2012), 3rd

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An apparently promising steep sided doline of inexplicable depth was not only estimated to measure approximately 10 m across, near a strange group of isolated cubes of rock some eroded into cones but also was characterised on 19th Feb 2012 (Sunday) by time and dense vegetation (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). ETYMOLOGY: The same as –>AA Cave (Cookie) 1st. SETTING: From the nearby farmer’s field Cookie spotted a natural path between the blocks of rock. Following it in a straight line for 30 m the floor descended to form a canyon 5 m high by 8 m long by 1.5 m wide. At the far bottom end a small and awkward passage meandered off (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). SITUATION: At an unspecified location in a north-eastern corner of the Jaintia Hills. POSITION: Somewhere in the vicinity of a spot for which selected aspects of an incomplete GPS reading, which was based on an unspecified geodetic datum (possibly WGS84) and disqualified by an unidentiied precision error, were recorded but reduced to a meaningless Location: N25 25 56.9 E92 35 28.1 (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Mss: Diary 2012.doc) was recorded. The crippled N25 25 56.9 E92 35 28.1 is, perhaps, the remainder of A) N25°25'56.9” E92°35'28.1” = N25.432472°: E092.591139° B) N25°25.560' E92°35.281' = N25°25'34.1”: E092°35'16.9” C) N25.25569° E92.35281° = N25°15'20.5”: E092°21'10.1”PROSPECTS: Thought to be promising steep sided but unidentified as not descended due to time and dense vegetation (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc).
