37747. Jure was forced to depart early, something what he hoped would go just did not add up.


 

 

From the Lower Depot to Cave Bottom


 


 
37748. What would it be upper left? Cat eyes or ... At the right it is easier to guess ...


 

 


 
37749. ... legs, pertaining to ...


 

 


 
37750. ... Gregor at the lower depot, which is slowly filling up. He was at the ungrateful side of the transportation chain - moving buckets from Marjan way up to the lower depot.


 

 


 
37751. Marjan used a short duty break - Metod is digging and so there are no new buckets to haul up - to see what's up (literally).


 

 


 
37752. Metod at the bottom with three filled buckets in front of him


 

 


 
37759. Now he turned over to the worksite ...

37763. Žan is showing the early version of DZRJL (Društvo za raziskovanje jam Ljubljana) logo. Žan explained that it was drafted by Aurelio Juri, high school buddy of Matjaž Puc, one of our key members.


 

 


 
37762. DZRJL logo by Aurelio Juri up close, probably a woodcut or a linocut


 

 


 
37764. Long time no see - a reunion after 50 years: Žan, France, Kazuko and Ile. Klok was member of the presidium at Kazuko's DZRJL (JKLM at the time) rite of passage, so-called baptism, in the late sixties. Kazuko was blindfolded with a scarf and the rite was supposed to include tasting the carbide, the fuel of carbide lamps, used for cave illumination at the time. So Klok's task was to pass a small piece of carbide below Kazuko's nose, to ask her to open her mouth and to put a small tangerine slice into it. Yet the frightened Kazuko did not even try to taste the tangerine but has, as promptly as she could, spit the unwanted tasting out. And hit Klok with it directly into his right eye. He was probably surprised even more than she was. To his luck the only consequence was that he could not open his eye for some time.
