Mainly for it's simplicity and for some of the neat stuff inside. It is closed now and thus I got lucky to have been able to see it before then. Thanks to Ginger the lady in red/pink(?) who led the trip. http://ralph.rigidtech.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=Signal-Light-Cave-2 ee82ff933c90bfe9b0ffc4a0401df221 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:18:11 -0600 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Signal-Light-Cave-2/IMGP1274.thumb.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Signal-Light-Cave-2/IMGP1274.sized.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Signal-Light-Cave-2/IMGP1274.thumb.jpg 108 144 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=Bible-Springs f05f294c0153fb4ba68dcdfee7116ebd Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:18:11 -0600 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Bible-Springs/BS_01.thumb.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Bible-Springs/BS_01.sized.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/Bible-Springs/BS_01.thumb.jpg 150 100 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=album06 0e120c6a5875c3e7fe024ac28e48876f Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:18:11 -0600 http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/album06/photoop.thumb.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/album06/photoop.sized.jpg http://ralph.rigidtech.com/albums/album06/photoop.thumb.jpg 98 144 Leading my first trip to this cave I took a new SRT student of mine for her first (real) vertical cave.
