| Once inside we had plenty of opportunity to let the scouts explore. | Some ways looked possible then were discovered too small to go! | Lots of questions were asked, lots of new things were explored, and a different kind of world was learned. |

| After a lot of exertion, you found that you created your own fog from your body! | Another passage explored... sorry moms... cave's aren't clean!! | Then we learned what total darkness meant! This was the place where all lights were extinguished! |

| We popped out of the exit on the other side of the hill... not a bad first run for these new cavers! | Then off to another cave (Endless Cave).. this one had more crawling, water passage, and climbing! | D with a scout after completing the water and mud passage belly crawl! |
