Overall Cave

This is a cave that has three (or more) levels in it. The second, and seemingly main, level is breaking down into the lower level. The cave has a little bit of everything including borehole, breakdown, mud, crawlways, and formations.

Please stay off of formations. These photos are from the 1980's. I have learned much since then about cave conservation. Please use existing trails when they are present and use common sense when no trails are present. Formations are formed by running water. Oils and mud from human contact alter the course of the development of the formation.

That is Scott Pack atop a large flowstone in Overall Cave. Please don't ever sit on a living formation like this. The mud and oils that you track can alter the waterflow and damage the formation. We did not know any better because we did not belong to a grotto.

More formations. Notice the lack of helmets and the candle burning on the formation. Please learn from these photos.

Formations in Overall Cave. Notice all the colors. From white to black.

Scott crouching in some formations. There was a slit at the base of the wall behind Scott that led down to the lower level of this cave.
