Thanks,This was a concern of mine the first time in there. I was disturbing the bottles/crocks for the first time in over a hundred years and they were releasing trapped air. When you're a half mile from the road,in a hole with a flashlight and the water starts moving around you by it's self you try not to think of anything. When I go back with a pump it will draw fresh air in as I pump the water out. Next time I won't be alone my daughter and granddaughters have 'volunteerd' to help recover the goods....DD

I finaly got out for awhile yesterday and all I could find is my footprints. Does having cabin/spring fever at the same time make me bipolar?
