Thanks for posting this, Dwight. The article wasn't too bad considering it was written by a non-caver. There were a couple of things that they messed up on, like the length of the cave (it's actually 168.6, not more than 170 miles) and the fact that 2,047 feet is only about 1/3 of a mile (not 3/4). But overall, it wasn't too bad. The good news is, the cave still has plenty of things left to find... in 2013 we mapped 4.8 miles (not including a three trips going in this weekend, and a camp trip coming up at the end of the month). There are a lot of active cavers at Jewel who deserve just as much, if not more credit than we got for our measly little 2,000 foot discovery. Stay tuned for future discoveries and updates.........
