At the request of the Shoshone District BLM the Gem State Grotto (GSG) repaired the gate on the skylight entrance to a lava tube near Gooding, Idaho. The gate itself was still intact so it only took hoisting it into place and drilling some new holes for anchor pins and a bit of welding. Also at the request (and funding) of the BLM the GSG custom fit a trailer with a specialized sand blasting rig that will be used to clean graffiti from caves. It was delivered to them at this project. Oh yea, the first few images are our ever-present caving buddies - the Great Basin Rattlesnake.
