Chris and I led a sport trip in Shovel Eater Cave with Mike Broome and Lisa Lorenzin. I think it was their hardest vertical cave they’ve done. But I absolutely love this cave, it’s my favorite! Here are the two of them in the borehole above Germany Well (217 ft).

Below is Chris in the Acoustic Persistence Chamber.

Unfortunately, we ran into this little guy in the cave. An Eastern pip covered with White Nose (WNS). I sure hope he makes it to the summer, he’s got a few more weeks to go for the bugs to come out!!
