a pair of foot prints in the sandy floor left to right in the T-
Bone junction we entered. The sizes suggested an adult
and a child had gone before us. Around the next turn of
cavern the ceiling had collapsed. We looked high and low
but there was no place to wiggle past. As we had seen no
returning tracks our first conclusions were horrific. We then
back-tracked to discover where they had entered. That led
us to another collapse area. Then we found mineralization
proof the fall had happened ages ago. There was ash and
soot indicating burning torches had been used. Where the
pair had come and gone is unknown but they like us were
there for thrilling discovery. Http://www.caves.org
