TO VISIT:
These trips were made possible through explicit permission from the land owner. Access is otherwise restricted and a locked steel door has been constructed to prevent unauthorized access to aide in preserving the cave's contents for generations to come.
I'd encourage you to check out the National Speleological Society's
website and consider joining a local Grotto (caving club) where you can sign up for trips to caves like this and learn from experienced cavers.
