Hell yeah!! If you have a moment, PM me about how I can join a group or pay for a guide. I'd love to do something like this! I've been to the Mammoth Caves, which was pretty cool with the family, but I'm looking for some more hands on!

Cool pic/video. The title needs a warning for those who suffer from Claustrophobia. Caves are awesome. There is something peaceful when you're hanging with stalactites and stalagmites. :candle:

This was a bigger cave in KY. It only had a couple of tight squeezes. The caves in Indiana are typically smaller (more crouching or crawling). Glad you liked it. I usually need a few folks to help me pack in the big lights. HID's are the way to go, but LED's are catching up pretty fast.

Wow. I just did this cave again last weekend. Who knew there was someone else here who has been in that cave.
I had my new Acebeam K60 with me and it was the brightest light in the cave that day. We had about 20 people with us.

We brought a semi-pro photographer with us. He brought in a DSLR and some remote flashes and did some photography in the early part of the cave.

I'm in the orange t-shirt and green gloves.

Big Group. I bet that added a lot of time to the trip....trying to get folks through choke points. Great Pics. One of the nicer caves I've been in. Looks like you had a great time.

many years ago , about 60! a friend and i did a little caving near albany, ny. "back in the day' we used carbide lamps. we got thru a tight spot and the carbide lamp started acting up, my friend, a lot smaller than i, took the lamp and headed out, leaving me on the backside of the crawl space. being young and not to sharp, I decided to "see what i could see" using sulfur matches...
by the time he got back to me and took one whiff, we both decided to leave the cave for that day and now I see the fantastic photos taken with today's lights...Wow! thank you for the vicarious experience!
