That's me about 200' down a 220' pit in West Virginia. See the tiny dot of sunlight? That's the entrance on the surface, which was a hole about 5' in diameter. Looks tiny don't it?

There we are looking at some amazing formations at the bottom of the cave. It's such a deep pit, it doesn't get a lot of traffic, and therefore it's impressively pristine.

Hmmmmmmmm.... diving a suspended helicopter in 60' of water with 500 of my best diving friends for the 50th time, or exploring gorgeous caves and pits througout Pendleton County, WV? Tough call...

Headlight and all

Awesome stuff. Now we just need to get you 300' under ground and under water. That makes caving even more fun.
