I have to tell you...I visited for the first time this past year. I did not go in because I didn't have any equipment(head lamps etc) so my friend and I walked around the perimeter of the cavern outside . we saw a couple of Amish kids that had been spelunking, coming up out of the ground. it was awesome. I remember saying to them, "I always wondered where the Amish come from" They thought it was funny.

It pains me to see that no matter how many clean up attempts from many individuals, this cave goes right back to trash in mere months. People have no respect for the world around them let alone for each other.

Great job, man! Glad to see you underground for a change. That warning sign was kind of funny. I guess that releases the State from all liability (or whoever owns the land that the cave is in). Shame about all that graffiti. Really need to get you out here to the desert Southwest for some awesome abandoned mine exploration. You’d love it!

Great vid! I've been in Wind cave a number of times but not for about 15 years. I was cool to see it on your video. I renember squeezing through places and it got a bit hairy at times. Also remember going in during march when I slipped on ice going in, hit hard and nearly lost my light. I live near there and it is said that the first traders found pots filled with various offerings the Natives lined the long entrance with. Life can be traced back 15,000 years in that area. Also the largest consintrarion of petroglyphs on the east coast. Thanks Much! DaveyJO

WOW!!!! What a place. I can only compare it to the slot canyon and the calcite caves in Sonora, Tx. I was very lucky to go there. My partner was a geologist. He passed away last August. He was only 65. Sigh. I hope I find another person who likes to travel, and has a curious mind!!! I truly believe that is the secret to staying young. I felt like a child, being out in the high desert. I never camped out before. Not really. He said I was a "trooper". I don't complain and am low-maintenance. RIP, Barry Smith, formerly of San Antonio......

Glad you enjoy this type of recreation but it would never even make my list....I can't take compression rooms in haunted houses. I agree that you should never do this alone. A sudden medical emergency while caving could be fatal. Plas don't go alone.

I've been all through this place many times. There used to be lots of bats but haven't seen any there for 10 years or so. There's a disease that's killing them plus the people running them out. It's not good for people who are claustrophobic at all. If you do go here be careful and don't take up any more parking then needed cause there isn't much. It's especially nice hiking in from Tucquan glen or the Pinnacle on a hot day when you get there it's like a walk in refrigerator.

Years ago it was a beautiful place to explore

As a caver myself, honestly that's the first thing I was thinking too (and I'm surprised yours is the only comment saying anything about it). People, you have no idea how easy it is to bump your head... hard... on something while doing this, until you do it and are laying on the ground for awhile right after that. You really don't wanna be that guy.

I wouldn't explore in such places without climbing equipment. You need ropes, hard hats, a first aid kit, candles, direction markers, a grappling hook, rations plus stove, waterproofs and pegs to fix into cracks. Lack of preparation hastens disaster. It is imperative you go properly prepared and you know the grading of your climb / descent.
