Hey all,
As one of the few cavers that are active in the Black Hills, I wanted to introduce myself. Although I am not a member of the NSS,I cave regularly,and rarely miss a meeting. Since I am neither a Federal Park employee,nor on the inner "old boy network" of Wind or Jewel cave,my interest is in the wild,unknown caves.
I started seriously looking for caves,after a few people in our grotto said "Don't bother- They've all been found". Well,I am happy to report,that is not true!
Not much vertical out here,but a few of our caves need a rope. Our longest in cave drop, is only about 50 feet,but we have many cliffs that have holes that need checkin'.........
If you get up north,give me a holler.
