AA CAVE, Tangnub 04

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An approximately 0.8 by 2.0 (metres?) large cave entrance gives access to what looks like pothole with an estimated 30–40 m shaft , narrow at the beginning but getting wider 5 m down (Pelletier 2008.02.21 Mss: T04). SITUATION: At an unspecified location which lies in an unexplainable spatial relation to the other -T- caves (note 1). APPROACH 1: To reach the entrance to the fourth -T- cave, G. Pelletier (2008.02.21 Mss: T04) suggests to get to a small pine forest (N25°17'13”: E92°29'52” without identified geodetic datum), which seems to lie at a travelling distance of about 2 km from the village of Tangnub (note 2) along the motorable 4WD track south towards Mupat (note 3). From the pine grove, take a small path and follow this for an unknown distance in an unidentified direction to a spot without coordinates, which once for a few days in late February 2008 had been characterised, literally quoted, by a pile of wood (in case this pile of eagerly sought for mining props has been takn away, please bring your own). According to G. Pelletier (2008.02.21 Mss: T04), this pile of wood is the very spot where, again literally quoted, several smaller path begins while the description of how exactly to find this T04 cave suddenly comes to a premature but abrupt end. TACKLE: A pile of wood and some caving gear. PROSPECTS: This is perhaps Not the -Most Better Cave-in-the-World- but worth a look (Pelletier 2008.02.21 Mss: T04) and suspected to be guilty of Poss. connection to Krem Shynrong Shrieh (Anonymous, undated manuscript amendment to Pelletier 2008.02.21 Mss: T04).An approximately 0.8 by 2.0 (metres?) large cave entrance gives access to what looks like pothole with an estimated 30–40 m shaft , narrow at the beginning but getting wider 5 m down (Pelletier 2008.02.21 Mss: T04).
