It sure was cold this morning, pictured is Adrian,Barry D, Jon P, John R, Jerry B, Bob B and Ken T (kneeling). A Tri-State and Franklin County adventure. Adrian in the Voodoo Dome. There was a lot of canyoning to get to this room, but the work was worth it. Jon adjusting his carbide lamp in the Voodoo Dome. Jon had a seam split in the carbide base of his lamp, losing the gas (and light). He had a spare base and was up and running in no time.

Bob resting in Voodoo Dome. A huge, automobile sized boulder fell from the ceiling and is wedged about half way down. There is no apparent reason why is shouldn't fall all the way, thus the room is called Voodoo. A crawl in the left extension. A crawl in the left extension.

A crawl in the left extension. Bob, being set free from the bowels of the earth. A fine mist can be seen in these pictures as warm moist air escapes into the frigid outdoors. Barry, coming out, is an old hand at this cave.

John, can't wait for something warm to put in his stomach. It was still cold when we came out.
