This is a fun little cave to do. We'll enter through a stream bed. Once inside, we'll take the left fork of a large loop passage within the cave. We'll follow the stream until we're blocked by a large breakdown where we'll stop for a snack. Up to this point, we'll do some crawling and get wet up to our knees and maybe waist.

For those more adventurous, you'll have the chance to try to find the passage that goes through this breakdown, while the others hand out and chat for a bit.

We then start to head back out, but will take the the other part of the loop passage. This will involve a deeper part of the stream including a 20' swim.

If we have time, we'll check out a short side passage that has some pretty stuff to see.
