LH Cave

My favorite part of the trip was when we went to Lighthouse Cave on Wednesday the 21st. Caving has always been a hobby of mine, so it was amazing to see a cave that had a completely different morphology than what I am used to. 

We went down into Lighthouse Cave through a pit cave entrance, and found ourselves in the main chamber. We poked around for a while to find the water loop. I had looked at the map beforehand, but was hard to get my bearings. The rocks around as were loosely cemented together. It was mostly biogenic material with around 2 mm grain size. We don’t under some songs to get to the back rooms. It was an important experience for me, and has shaped my view of the field that I want to get into.

I am very grateful and hope to return one day!
