WOOD CUTTERS POT (aa -)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A cave entrance without identified shape or dimensions gives access to a pothole or an undescended pot (Boycott 2004.02.19 Mss: Pot), which appears to be more than 10 m deep. ETYMOLOGY: No locally known cave name, which is known to the people familiar with the area, has been identified for what was christened Wood Cutter Pot Brooks (2004.09.23 personal correspondence); Brooks (undated 2004 Mss amendment to Boycott 2004.02.19 Mss: [deleted: Pot] Woodcutters Pot): Given name as pot was shown to explorers by a local cutting wood in area.Wood Cutters Pot Boycott (2004.02.19 Mss: [deleted: Pot] Wood Cutters Pot) Woodcutters Pot Arbenz, T (2004.02 Mss: Abstracts.xls) Woodcutters Shaft Arbenz, T (2007 cave plan: Labit_Khaidong.pdf). SITUATION 1: Boycott (2004.02.19 Mss) points out that Wood Cutters Pot lies exactly somewhere on track down to Liat Prah entrance about 20 m below pine tree in bamboo grove and thus in an area with only hundreds of obvious banana groves but thousands of unmistakeble pine trees. SITUATION 2: Arbenz, T (2007 cave plan: Labit_Khaidong.pdf) shows Woodcutters Shaft daylight about 20 or 30 m approximately north-east of Knee Wrecker Pot II entrancesPOSITION 1: N25°22'25.5”: E92°32'22.2” (±4.2 m, WGS84): 980 m asl (Casio Partrek, A. Boycott 2004.02.19 Mss: Pot). POSITION 2: N25°22'25.5”: E92°32'22.2” (±4.2 m, unspecified geodetic datum): unknown elevation (anonymous recorder, undated, unspecified GPS receiver; after: Brooks 2004.09.23 personal correspondence). POSITION 3: N25°22'25.5”: E92°32'27.2” (unspecified precision error, unspecified geodetic datum, anonymous recorder perhaps Antony 'Tony' Boycott, Simon J. Brooks, Nicola -Nicky- Bailey or Andrew -Andy- Harp 2004.02.19, unspecified GPS receiver): 980 m asl (unspecified method or instrument; after Arbenz, T 2004.02 Mss: Abstracts.xls).
