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!!

Doing a Cassell Cave trip with Brian Young and Meghan Moss. We had done the trip three years ago when I was sick and we weren’t leading. We were now on a mission to learn the thru trip — from Ody’s Pit to the Windy Entrance. It took us 13 hours, but we did it!
Here Meghan Moss rappels from a small window into a room.
And we saw this interesting little guy in the stream passage.

Chris and I visited TAG, with our good friend Aaron Moses. Here is the view from the bottom of the 155-foot open-air pit named Sawmill Well.
After bouncing the pit a couple of times, we did the pull-down trip in Solution Rift. Rappels (in order) are: 24, 18, 30, 23, 167 (Confederate Well), 31 and 36 feet.
