A typical group of cavers gathers for a photo at the tractor entrance.  This man made entrance was first drilled then blasted.

Cavers are lowered into the cave several at a time.  The owner leaves an old tractor with a cable attached for the descent and ascent.

Here's what a group of cavers look like as they come through the ceiling of the cave.

Our hero, Ed Goff had his picture taken in the cave to prove he was there.
