Later editions eventually dropped the 10 foot pole, perhaps because it's just not very realistic to carry a 10 foot pole in caves.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-1961313536205994362013-05-05T19:48:40.679+10:002013-05-05T19:48:40.679+10:00Yellow...yes.
