Tom Barton looks on as Ralph Hartley catches up on sketch at station BP35. Two
passages intersect here, one extends to the right and the end of the cave. In
the background behind Tom, Rick Royer opened a lead that took the survey up
into a short segment of trunk passage. Copyright © Devin Kouts, 2002

Most of the route to the north end of the cave (several hundred feet) is
crawlway over cobbles. Rick Royer crawls through some typical passage on his
return to the entrance. Copyright © Ralph Hartley, 2002

Miles Drake enters the awkward spot at the "Amphora" on the way to the exit. He
is mildly annoyed because someone has been firing a flash in his face. Copyright ©

Interesting helictites and formations adorn the passage on the way to the north
end of Memorial Day cave. Cavers must take care not to damage these formations.
