The dry cave entrance is on the side of a steep ridge. |

The small gated entrance covers a deep crevice. |

It's about 30' down there. |

The cave is one of the more beautifully decorated caves in Arkansas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is also a large cave system. |

Lots of ups and downs, constant momentum helps here. |

There are nice formations everywhere. |

The scope of nature in here is incredible. |

Brian sizes up the formation. |
|

It's a large formation with a layered appearance. |

Small cameras don't do this system justice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Just about every kind of formation is in here. |
