Cave Safely
There are two ways to experience caving. One is by visiting
developed caves and participating in a guided tour.
The other is to visit undeveloped caves, and should be entered
only by experienced cavers with proper training and
equipment.
Both types of caving experiences are represented in this puzzle
cache and list of resources.
