Maybe National Geographic's Mysteries Underground?
Also, I did a google search for flint ridge mammoth cave TV special, and this thread came up as the 8th result from the top.
We're famous.

I, too, found it to be an incredible book and enjoyed it immensely! As I read through it I would always remember Q87. It took me 15 years of caving before I got to that spot and can't begin to tell you how historical it felt. I almost looked around for the tour guide, it was like I had been there before! In a way, I guess I had because the author described the system better than a paper map. I returned my copy to the library late, then went and bought two copies - one for the Grotto library and one for myself.
BTW - The NSS Bookstore sells it in softcover: http://nssbookstore.org/index.php?mode= ... er=01-0104
Glad to see someone else read this magnificent book and get all fired up about caving!

Cave Research Foundation
Why limit yourself to something you read in a book? There's a gajillion caves out there, and a few that have not yet every been explored. Open your horizons and go for it!
