Buffalo Nat. River caves

[holtja]

I'm unfortunately stationed in North Dakota and am planing a trip down to Fitton (and others) on the buffalo and am wondering if anyone would help me out. I've done vertical in TAG (neversink, Natural Well, Valhalla) and a little bit in MO where I was stationed before. I've been to the Buffalo and to Fitton probable a dozen times but haven't had the opportunity to do any vertical there. I have learned from NPS that there are several pits in the park, but they won't tell me where. 4 people including myself are going down there and in to Fitton on the 18th and the 21st of Sept. and would like to do some pits while we are there. If anyone can help me out with locations it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

Someone may have already assisted you with this, but if not, here are a few links that may help you find caving contacts in that general area of the country: There are no grottos listed for North Dakota, but here is a link to the Northern Rocky Mountain Grotto in Montana, The Minnesota Speleological Survey, and The Iowa Grotto.

Maybe some of these folks can help you out.
