*You can feel cold air drafting from where the cave direction is. Since the cave temperature is different than the outside temperature it inhales and exhales air like a giant lung. So there is air drafting from large portions of the cave through the tunnels and even the dirt. So we can just feel for a wind and that's the direction the cave goes and then we can dig it out. Follow the cold draft!
