| Frog in Sinks | Exit Sinks of Gandy... for now | Rob looking at the exit | More of the exit... but it's more fun to do it all over again! | Salamander, spotted on our trip back through |

| Jobeth and Eli, waiting for Killer Bat Cave to be found | But where is it? Jerry never seemed quite sure but he did find one to try | It was pretty awful. Here, Rob tries squeezing uphill on a clay slope into the second room of a mucky, narrow cave | Sean watches Bernie leave, after a minimal amount of time spent in the cave | Now it's his turn |

| And now for Mennonite Youth Camp Cave... after hands and knees crawling through freezing water, we forced our way down tons of narrow, awkward passage... this shot is an upper level | Some of that narrow passage | A larger room with a showerhead type watefall in the middle | Jerry, Tyler, Sean and Chris | Some rimstone |

| Now we're getting to some pretty stuff... it's all hidden in the back of the cave | Wouldn't be surprised if some people give up before they ever get this far, even though it's a short cave | The back was much more impressive than the front of this cave | The ten foot waterfall... looks small but half of it is hidden | |

| Natural bridge... there were two in this room | Another rimstone/flowstone formation on the way out... much better in reality | Top of the rimstone formation | ||
