 Yall might remember a couple weeks ago me saying I had gotten permission to go in this cave I had come upon while looking for another cave in Coffee county. Well today was the day for my first trip in. Nothing like the excitment of going into a new cave!!!! This cave has both dry & wet sections i found out. At the end of the water passage there was this BFH . I could tell that the water had to be deeper than 20 ft. The dry section was some nice bore hole section. I will be back for sure. Hope to have pics tomorrow.

Was it growing on fecal material? No it wasn't. I thought the same thing at first. |

It is very difficult to determine from the photograph's if that is angel hair or some type of fungus. The 3rd photograph does look like something is underneath it. Do you have any other photograph's that you could post for comparison purposes?
