While this is not a real rescue (it would be hard to get lost in this particular cave) I'm glad the spleunkers were OK and made it out of the cave. They appeared to be ill equipped for a long visit but didn't have serious problems in the cave. Many if us started caving in a similar way and survived just fine before learning proper techniques and safe practices. I am none too pleased about the local papers broadcasting the location of the cave so that this event will likely occur again soon though.

I was there & believe me there is more to the story than what is printed by the paper.
They were 8hrs over there call out time. They also were to confused to figure out how to get out of the cave. I will not say the reason but you can kind of get the picture why.

So were they stoners? or just inebriated? |

Well no wonder *the spelunkers* could not find their way out of the cave!  Well maybe it is time to program our phone#? |
