Tales from a Real Cave Man
Join us Thursday, March 19, at 7:00 p.m. for a presentation by Dick LaForge entitled “Tales from a Real Cave Man.” LaForge fell in love with caving right after high school and took regular excursions from Connecticut into the back hills of Virginia. After moving west, he explored, mapped, and photographed caves in the Southwest, Mexico, Central America, and Borneo. Dick will focus on Lechuguilla Cave, in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, and Bigfoot Cave, in the Marble Mountains Wilderness. Bigfoot Cave held the US cave depth record for three years in the late 1970s. LaForge moved to the area in 1969 and taught chemistry labs at (then) Humboldt State College. Later, he worked in house construction, taught in middle school, and was an analytical chemist at North Coast Laboratories in Arcata. Now retired, besides being his wife Kathy’s handyman, he teaches beekeeping at CalPoly Humboldt and plays brass instruments. Programs are held on the third Thursday of the month, September through May, at Six Rivers Masonic Lodge, 251 Bayside Road, Arcata. Drinks and goodies are served at 7:00 p.m., the program begins at 7:30. You can also find it on Zoom—go to rras.org for the link.
