Fun! That is a really cool spot, and gives me an idea for similar terrain near my home. That whole route would be scary in wet weather. Kinda an anti-climatic hide though eh?

@cowboytelemark There have been reports of changes to the terrain and caves due to earthquakes and aberrant weather. But after you've done the journey, I don't think the end is anti-climactic... it more makes you realize all you just went through :) A great adventure!

This cache has so much unnecessary information on its page its just really frustrating. I had an easier time just going to the mud caves and looking for the one that looked like the one in the pictures.
