Pictures of Cave Trip 7

On December 27th 2005, We traveled back underground, thankfully Rick didn't enjoy the sunny beaches of east and came back to kentucky where we picked him up on the way to the cave. we had a small group. Jim, Joseph, tom, Scott, Jenn, myself and our guide Rick. We got a later started then plan but we got to the caves about 4:00pm and got ready and headed underground, this trip was a bit tougher, we got really wet in spots and had to do alot of low crawling but was worth it, had a great time and wish my pictures turned out better, but with the combination of the cold temps and being wet and warm bodies there seems to me a lot of misting in the pictures which relates to basically steam pouring off of us. so early pics turned out great but it the ended got a bit foggy.... hopefully Jim's turn out good and i get a copy (he took a digital camera) Here is the clean before picture, left to right: Rick, Tom, Jim, Joseph, Scott and Jenn

this trip showed us something that i never saw before, large groupings of bats snuggled together, before there was maybe at most 10 together here a pic of whole bunch of them together

heres are a bunch more tucks into a crack in the wall

heres some of theat great mist.....people are hugging the outside walls for areason, though you can see it there is alot of water in the center of the room, early we tried to stay dry

This one is for Joseph, a nice shot up at Jim as he climb up the rocks

a better shoot of Jim this time with Joseph in the picture

Picture of Scott, No he is not about to be frisked, more water and that trying to stay dry thing.

Scott working his way over the water while Joseph checks outs something above with Jim waiting behind him.

Jenn Smiling as she works her way out of one of the caves into the woods

Scott fixing his helmet as he waits for joseph and Jim to get out of the cave, we regrouped and headed on to the next cave.
