Happy memorial Day 🤠

[@jessiep2471]

Happy Memorial day Sir Chigg, love the video!

[@bowwiz]

Takes a special kind of idiot to go caving..... I agree, ain't no way I would crawl into a little hole in the ground!

[@dirkdiggler0372]

Tights come down,mites go up!😉

[@scrappydoo7887]

Chigg what is the make of the head torch you have on during the intro? Happy memorial Day 🙂

[@theketovillagee]

You are the Bob Ross of exploring ❤️ And I love it

[@dougalexander7204]

Since you and Rob discovered this cave, where you able to name it? It’s so beautiful, just loaded with formations and, I hope, other than the land owner and the state, it is kept secret and protected. Thank you for such a special adventure.

[@65twiggy]

It may be a small cave,but it packs a big punch! So gorgeous!

[@aserta]

Lots of water and basic material for the formations to grow. IMO, we got to see it at its greatest. As water erodes it, might be tomorrow, might be in a thousand years, but it will eventually collapse. It's difficult to say from the camera alone, but it's kinda shaped like this /U\ and that belly will eventually collapse. A part of it already did, Beau was sitting on it. It's a gorgeous little cave, indeed.

[@StarScapesOG]

So for those wondering, the total average growth rate for speleotherms is 0.13 mm per year. But, that can vary drastically based on the amount of water and the surrounding rock types. This can vary by year. More water = more growth. Edit: thanks for treasuring and being so conscientious about the delecate cave treasures, as always!

[@QuivaRPG]

I'm claustrophobic, so watching you go caving is hard. But I do it, and I think it's helping me. I can always pause the video and come back to it when I'm ready, and that's the key, I think. Confronting my fear in a methodical way that's totally safe for me. Just make sure you stay safe too!

[@Kaufeetimevideo]

I feel for you I'm acrophobia and I freak out just watching a video 😣

[@abstractgamer8543]

My sister is claustrophobic but it's getting better now that she joined MMA.

[@insaturnsringzz]

Same here! God bless Beau for loving to do this, because I could NEVER go in those tight spaces like that!

[@ogamhunter]

Thank you Chigg, who knows this might be the first time someone got to see this and thanks to you, you made it possible! Love those blacklight's, a beautiful whole knew world exist under there! God Bless, (Glen) WV.

[@MB-gs7pk]

I learnt it this way. Stalactites hang on tight to the ceiling. Stalagmites use all their might to reach the ceiling.

[@TekedixXx]

I was JUST telling someone about when you found this cave! The drilling, the explosives, the excitement! So cool you're taking us back with you on this one.

[@brian70Cuda]

Seems like yesterday...wow time flies!!

[@creatureconnor]

I wanna watch that! What's the video?

[@creatureconnor]

Incredible! It's absolutely mind-blowing to me that there's places this beautiful out there still waiting to be discovered!

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Chiggs, that is breathtaking. Like another world beneath the earth hiding its beauty. You are nuts for going down there alone, but we would never know that existed had you not gone down. Loved the flashlight on your face. And the UV light. You are so fun and so knowledgeable. Keep having fun.

[@breadlowry]

Would love to hear some geologist chime in on age estimates for some of these structures. Thanks for sharing Chigg!

[@jagzilla1398]

I am not a geologist, but have a minor in it. I seem to recall depending on conditions radiometric dating indicated about 3-4" every 1000 years for stalactites on average.

[@roygeorge5364]

@@jagzilla1398 cool, thanx mate.

[@merrillfinlayson2180]

I sure hope you tell someone where you're going when you crawl into these holes in the ground alone! OK, that being said, thanks for sharing this experience with us. It was awesome down there!

[@ericlaird7508]

That sounds like good advice for anyone spellunking down in the ground....like being in an MRI machine thats too small.......😉

[@lilybee_]

I think he tells his wife and she knows how long before she needs to be worried.

[@670tazman]

I've learned about stalactite's and stalagmite's from the carlsbad caverns. one hangs tight to the ceiling and the other might make it to the ceiling.

[@danearl6279]

Well said! There is no such thing as a stalagtite ☺

[@terrencebuller7676]

Duuude, what an awesome Cave. Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing this adventure with us. 👍 Take care.

[@lonniechartrand]

Such a BEAUTIFUL little cavern! Those are some of the most exquisite formations I have seen in a cave of it's size. Thanks for taking us along, AND, for going to the trouble of opening this cave up so that we all can share in it's beauty.

[@geraldcampbell6834]

Yes Chigg I like your cave videos! Keep them coming, also I hope you are keeping these cave locations a closely guarded secret because there are to many jackasses that will go in and destroy these places!

[@CitrusMike]

i love your cave videos, they actually inspired me to get into caving. i actually just did today!

[@llc1976]

Wow! I can see how you get down but how do you get back out?!! I love how beautiful and mysterious it is! But no way could I do that too tight spaces make me panick. Thnx for sharing this I learned a lot

[@Hockey-ny7tp]

Well he hasn't uploaded in 4 days so maybe he's stuck down there 🤣

[@kcraig51]

At the 16:00 mark, look above your head at about 11 o'clock. It looks like a giant centipede fossil!

[@WanderIndiana]

These are the non-anxiety inducing caving videos I love! Thanks for the adventure!

[@48thstateprospecting]

Glad you revisited this cave I obviously missed the first time around but that is very very cool I could stare and examine those formations for weeks and never get bored thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻

[@Bambi_Sapphic]

You should come check out some of the caves in Australia some time, the endless tunnels within black mountain are certainly wild.

[@Lookinglost]

I've really missed your caving videos, that's actually what introduced me to your channel. I came for the caves but stayed for the personality of the Chig haha. Absolutely love all of the content!

[@richardwarnock2789]

Beautiful Cave the Bacon 🥓 made me hungry 😋!!!; ) Thank's

[@roballison3281]

At 14:58 there is a crazy formation over your right shoulder. Looks like a fossil...

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Chigg, you're the best! Thanks so much for taking us back down there. I love your love for such beauty and adventure. Plus you are such a goofball. P.S. Don't ever get too old.

[@richardperkins6132]

Awesome little cave adventure chigg. An the pics were amazing as well. What an awesome adventure chigg. Catch ya on your next outing. Have a great week my friend. 😁👍👍

[@JD-ps6od]

Poor old mr toad did a little headstand when he landed. Haha!

[@rickyb2200]

Loved the formations. A beautiful little cave. Thanks Chigg, PS. The light was crazy , I've never seen you with green teeth 😂

[@jeffg6510]

Remember when you opened this cave up. Thanks for the repeat visit. Beautiful indeed

[@JockoFlocko]

I really wish you did more cave explorations, you are so thorough in explaining how the caves are formed, what the decorations are called and the whole story regarding the caves and how you had to dig your way in. Keep up the great work!

[@samuelwilliams1042]

Thank you for rescuing the toad, I love how you care about animals. Bless you. Thank you too for another fascinating look under ground, I'd never be able to go caving as I hate small spaces but I love seeing what it's like under our feet. Look forward to more. From Sharon on Sam's device x

[@ryancrownover1578]

I used to do a lot of caving here in the Ozarks when I was younger thanks for sharing brings back a lot of memories

[@blackbearsmithing7245]

Check my channel for a cave that I found in the Ozarks. The land here is beautiful and full of surprises!

[@jessechristian8665]

I lived in the Ozarks in my youth. My Grandma's farm was 167 acres and she claimed there were caves on the land, but couldn't find one.

[@elizabethrowe7262]

So interesting to see all the formations and special effects using coloured light. I do love seeing caves and so interesting to see whats in them etc. this one especially. Thanks for sharing!

[@StarScapesOG]

It is hard to say, as the growth rates of cave formations vary by how "wet" the caves are. This can also vary year to year. In addition, why some caves have solid doors at the enterance is to prevent them from "drying out".

[@angelanelson5567]

Yes! Your caving videos are my favorite! 💓

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

That's a delicate cave. Those transparent fin formations are awesome.

[@karenfromva]

So neat to see the nature below us! Seeing a small cave like this is fascinating. Thanks so much.

[@ismewhat1234]

I like that cave that has like a lady looking sculpture in in it you and your wife went in when in. This is a cool 1 awesome thanks for showing us

[@Deus-Too]

Fascinating video Chiggmeister! Mother nature is wonderful, isn't she? 👍

[@scrappydoo7887]

Those various mineral structures are truly amazing chigg 👍 I think the squeeze to get in is definitely worth the view

[@neillh]

Thank you for taking us along on another great adventure 👍

[@benroper7290]

I've been waiting for awhile for another cave video. Awesome chigg

[@Katelittlewolf]

UV light shots !!! lol lol. But the colors! purple!!! as if the tites were made of amethyst! and all the pastels! Mother Earth may have no sympathy, but she never ceases to amaze. THESE were some secrets ! Thank you

[@odysseyeduardo]

Wow! what an awesome little cave! Yes cave and bridge stalactites are similar but the formation chemistry is different. In cave formations Co2 is released in the process but in the type you see under bridges, called calthemite, exposure to Co2 in the air facilitates the reaction. Cave formations do take a long time to form, but some calthemite formations can grow as much as 2 mm per day!

[@bvs9631]

You are so funny. Loved the UV light. Haha. what a beautiful place. Amazing. Love to go along with the Chigg. Thank you!

[@anonymouse7074]

CAVING!!!!!!! Keep em coming

[@1catfishuntermiller753]

Hiya Chigg, yes it still looks the same, still as beautiful as ever. I hope you and the Misses, has a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!

[@kathybrandt6060]

Hello, I always love your cave videos. The formations and the chaos about the cave just makes it magical.

[@melissaslate1621]

I love this video!! I would give anything to have gone in that cave with you. What a treat!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@ZeldaRosenthal]

Thank you for the beauty and wonder. Keep safe. ❤️

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Wow! Thanks Beau!👍 The UV light was just amazing! it's hard to see the same visual compared to being there. but if you've been in limestone caves they pretty stark when it comes to color. The UV took caving to another videography level.

[@regressmenot]

Very, very interesting.

[@bobpiffle1660]

Very, very cool! Thanks Aquachigger!

[@loripretti843]

That is absolutely beautiful!!! I think it's absolutely amazing that you found it!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us!!! God bless!!!

[@sandrakisch3600]

This cave is beautiful. The colors and formations are incredible.I watched this at midnight. After you filmed your scary face you made me laugh but now I go to bed and hope no nightmares. Lol. Thankyou for sharing this . I loved it.

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE

[@helenburke9507]

[@djpuffthethird]

Who can forget the Slit Cave and Chiggers Little Helpers ! ! Slit Cave is beautiful 😍 Thanks for for revisiting . Made my day . But omg Roadkill Cave was epic in it's own way too . Soo much water . You never find quite get round that watery corner in Roadkill ! ?

[@danielpahoundis6321]

Awesome cave chigg!!!!no doubt one of the best cave vids you have posted and very enjoyable 💯💯💯happy adventures old buddy and thanks again for the years of content....

[@davideo1954]

Chig…we need…MOAR! Great pictures, by the way!

[@bobbywenger5595]

That's a neat little cave you showed us thank you very much I enjoyed your video

[@heinrichheine6137]

Thank you so much for the beautiful tour!

[@markattardo]

That was awesome to see! Really enjoyed the UV light too.

[@hellooohowareudoing]

I've been watching all kinds of videos about caving disasters lately! You'd never see me down one of them.

[@Mr.clintontoney]

Wow , this cave is beautiful!

[@tonymckee1944]

Thanks for another great video! I absolutely love the caving videos!

[@RBPx1]

Awesome cave Chigg , thanks for sharing with us…

[@katiebailey9180]

Pretty Amazing Chigg! Thanks for Sharing!

[@brianwolfe5743]

I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to watching more.. take care and God bless

[@gnarXrad]

I believe this is the cave digout that I discovered your channel from a few years back, Chigg! Awesome to see it once again! Stay awesome!

[@rebeccalucysmith9689]

Amazing video; how you get the nerve to squeeze into a gap you may not get out is beyond me; don’t blame Rob for not repeating…thks for the footage though; so beautiful 👍🏻😀

[@mandymitchell6388]

Love it! So beautiful down there.

[@johnnyphillips9735]

Good video mr chigg thanks for sharing and thanks for serving

[@jeep2003]

I agree about the age of the stelagtites. Also I think rocks can form in just a few hundred years depending on the soil.

[@jonwaters5278]

You're not an idiot you're special. Crazy to go into those small spaces my friend

[@o.wildfarmer8023]

You really feel safe there, don't you?! Relaxing, no one to keep an eye on?

[@rlsingle00]

Really like your caving episodes. Thanks 👍

[@joanyount3239]

Love caving, my fave videos! Used to wild cave, what an experience!

[@bryanrotchell1565]

Wowh chigg what a cave 👍👍

[@steveculbert4039]

[@beverlyhanlon8376]

Thank you for the fantastic tour. Beautiful pictures at the end. Thanks

[@nancysadirondackart50]

Thanks for showing us this cave. I would NEVER go down in that hole so it's nice you do it for us!

[@tommcallister3660]

OK now I know after watching you for some time now .... your nuts on one it there right mind goes in to a cave like that. happy you did ready liked to see it. but you and Gly Coolness , Jeff Williams, ya you are all nuts. Happy you are though love to see this stuff , but me going in to the places you guys go,... not bloody likely!!

[@claudine1220]

I seem to remember the first time I saw your channel, you going down a mystery hole (most likely this very one!) Yeah I still don't see the attraction myself but I do appreciate your wonderful and undying sense of adventure, showing this amazing place and making me want a bacon sandwich slathered with brown sauce and dripping with butter...this is probably why I don't go down holes because I know I wouldn't fit!🤣🤣

[@juliuscaesar3346]

Excellent 💚💚👍👍

[@william5823]

Love the cave videos. They are my favorite. When might we be going searching for new caves?

[@todhollandsworth4371]

Pretty cool been wanting to go up to Tennessee to see the caves up there been to one cave in my life up in WV you go through the gift shop and you go down into the cave they have a stream that runs through it

[@MargieT6223]

Too cool thanks! Beautiful

[@DrZippo01]

Another great explore!! Hoping you can explain what we're looking at over your right shoulder on the "ceiling" of the cave. Between 14 and 16 mins. Looks like a fossil of a fern, maybe a root or SPINE! LOL

[@headrot2443]

This was friggin Kool,,most excellent adventure.wavin at ya mister chiggles 🤠

[@randlerichardson5826]

That’s neat Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS

[@heden1460]

That was pretty cool. I really like the pictures at the end with the light.
