The info I had on this cave said that there was flowstone, stalagmites, stalactites, popcorn, soda
straws, and bacon strips inside, the directions were wroth shit though about 1/2 a mile off.
Its a sinkhole type of cave and is wet and muddy, it seems like the cave sees a lot of use. There is a
ton a breakdown in the cave, in some sections there is a good 15 feet of ceiling that fell down.
As you can tell from the photos this was my first time playing with a camera in a cave.
The first time I was here I had my OM-2000 with a Kalimar 175A electronic flash & that didn't cut it
so I came back the next day with my OM-1n and about 5lbs. of flashbulbs and my flashgun.
Once you got into the main room the cave split off to the left and right, to the right was nothing but a
dead end, but most of that area was covered in flowstone with a few stalagmites and a bunch of little
stalactites or soda straws. To the left was the main passage, this is where mos of the ceiling had
fallen. Once you reached the end of the main passage, it narrowed to a little hole that was about 1
foot by 2 feet. It has to be the best part of the cave, everyone was too scared to go through but me so I
made the journey myself, breaking every flashbulb in my pocket and walking around the rest of the
day with broken glass in my pocket. Over all this is one hell of a cave for being in Wisconsin.

I found this note on my car once I got back.
I never did learn me my words, maybe they
should explain what NO means.
