The main passage remains about 15 to
20 feet wide and 10 to 15 feet high for about
1,200 feet. At this point a large side passage is
about 25 feet wide and 6 feet high for the first
100 feet. It continues about 5 feet wide and 6
feet high for about 300 feet. Here a small crawl
heads north but pinches out very soon. Beyond
this point the passage can be followed through
a water crawl with some walking for about 700
feet.
The main passage continues for 500 feet
about 30 feet wide and 10 feet high to where

water disappears beneath breakdown and a
chert layer is seen in the ceiling. After 500
feet more a small, 200-foot crawl leads off to
the right. The main passage here is 3 feet high
and has a foot of water for 300 feet, where it
becomes larger. A breakdown room, 200 feet
after, contains a 500-foot-long, southerly
trending side passage with a stream. On the
other side of the breakdown room the passage
is big and leads 300 feet to a formation room
on the left. Beyond this the passage continues
500 feet to where it becomes too small.

inside the entrance there is a flowstone deposit
over which the stream cascades. From here to
