Trip leader Ellen had her daughter Alex, who is an experienced caver, and grandson Kealan along. Marcy brought her brother Don and his 2 sons Josh and Ryan. I had my daughter, Rachel, and her friend Kelly along as first timers. And of course Amos came along never resisting a chance to help out newbies learning to cave and provide essential equipment and guide us to the cave.
This was a late afternoon caving trip. We entered the cave at about 3:00 PM. Splitting into two groups, we showed our charges around and explained the features and biology and explained the delicate nature of the environment
Some areas were wetter than previously experienced. The most decorated room was about two and a half feet deep in water. It was decided it would not be good to take the new folks in there.
Without too much of any incidences and a lot of fun, two hours quickly turned into four.
