A hiker has been missing in the desert sand caves near Borrego Springs, California since Easter. A couple of days ago they spotted a body deep in a 50 foot hole but can't get to it because the walls are crumbling. The San Diego County Sheriffs Department just cancelled the search, saying it's too dangerous to send anybody down the hole to bring back the body so they are calling in the Los Angeles County Mine Search group to shore up the walls with wood. I think we need some Cornish miners, don't you? Jan in Lemon Grove near San Diego

Our Cornish tinners would do it in a second!

Unfortunately, today's safety rules and insurance rules wouldn't let them "just go down and do it" - it would take weeks with all the red tape and hoops they have to jump through! Sad sign of the times! But its all there to keep us safe, I guess.
