Dear Nyyef,
We would certainly enjoy sitting down with you and comparing notes on
fascinating places in this country. Perhaps we can learn of new caves from
you and we would be happy to share with you the special techniques we cavers
use for entering and exiting deep pits. "Off roading professionally"
sounds very interesting... would you like to tell us more? Maybe if you
send some information we could turn it into a little article about you for
our website. What do you say?
