I led a sport caving trip with some of my co-workers at the newspaper. I do this every couple of years or so . . . this time it was with reporters Doug Manners, Tim Champan, Josh Brown and Patrick Cooley in Allegany County’s Paxton’s Cave. Here is Doug admiring some dog-tooth spar.

Patrick stands next to the large stalagmite named Floyd Collins’ Ghost.

Tim stands next to the beautiful formation named the Christmas Tree.

Josh stands next to some typical formations in the upper level maze.
