Fantastic video, thanks for taking us into this beautiful cave. It blows my mind that this is just one of thousands of active caves that are in perpetual darkness yet are so glorious in beauty when we have the privilege to look at it with light. Looking forward to more adventures here, wherever it is. What a treat.

As far as bottoms falling out, been there done that in Graverobbers Extension of Cemetary Pit. A fellow caver and I checking a lead on the back side of a boulder moving rocks and all of a sudden the rocks started disappearing down a hole. My buddy panicked and pinned my legs down and I couldnt back away. Once it was all settled we eventually rappelled in to find several domes and a very tight hole connecting into the top of a dome room in Cemetary pit. Great adventure!

Thank you aquachigger for sharing that utterly beautiful cave system, shame about the raccoon scat spoiling your time in there but I suppose its just mother nature's way of making the cave and its treasures a little less accessible to creatures that would spoil or damage its uniqueness, wish I could have been there with ya even if the smell was horrendously bad , it wouldn't have put me off in anyway, just knowing that views like that were there to be seen first hand would have been worth it completely, your phylosopical comment about the continuity of time and nature and the balance of its purity was commendable in its sheer honesty. ........thank you mr chigger, keep up your amazing work

Beau... I love the enthusiasm you have for cave exploration. When my 2 boys were younger we lived in Tennessee and loved to visit Cumberland Caverns. We could go on guided tours and even camp in the cave overnight. It was a wonderful experience! One of the neatest memories I have is when we reached as far as we could go into the cave our guide turned off the lights and talked about 100% pure darkness. Talk about DARK!!! You couldn't even see your hands in front of your face!

Very cool! It's different but cave diving is one of my passions. Haven't done it yet and probably never will, it's incredibly dangerous but I love to watch other's do it. But no bats? I was hoping for some to swoop down and scare the bejesus out of you ha ha. I love the fact that you get out and explore though, not enough ppl do. I can't place your accent, mid east coast maybe?? Just a note, I thought I heard you call the one's rising from the floor cave stalactites. If I heard wrong I apologize, but those are stalagmites.

Walked into a low hanging bit of "flower" type stalactite which shoved several shattered bits under my skin. Got most of them out but missed a tiny piece which I didn't notice until my scalp healed & swelling went away. I lived far out in wilderness area of Alaska and there are no doctors. No it doesn't hurt and is hard to detect even for me.

If you are ever passing through the lower part of New Mexico, by all means go through the Carlsbad Caverns. The nice part of walking down through there, is you can take the elevator out of there instead of hiking back out. It's a long hie but well worth it, and there is a paved trail all the way through there. To give you an idea of the size, in the Kings room you will find a large hole in the floor ,with a similar hole in the ceiling. You could stand the Empire State Building in between the two holes. Just don't get off of the path, because what looks like solid rock may be just a hollow shell.

I was curious about a couple of things as I have never gone into caves like you all do. First of all how do you go into such tight places and it not effect you from a mental standpoint of like you might not get out or stuck? It was so bad for me as a teen but I have gotten a problem with my lungs and even an MRI gets to me like I dont feel like I can breath which is ridiculous. On that not I for one am very grateful to see these places you take us as I and others Im sure could never do it and I love seeing things that might not have ever been seen before. The cave that fascinated me most was the one with the names in to going back to the 1700's. I do geneology and would love to get a couple of those names and see if the family line might still be in the area. Can you imagine finding someone that is related to that name and show them a vid of pic of that WOW. Second thing is there was some blue tape on the floor and you said it was surveyor tape at the 25:40 mark there was more blue tape tied to a Stalactite. Is that harmful to leave that on an active Stalactites?
