I saw at the end of your video that a guy named Milton was there as well. Is that Milton who works at Cinram as a maintenance man? I know he repels.

@TheOtteroo ... I am sorry, I do not know where Milton works.

Hey Kelly, do yall live around Huntsville? Also, what kind of video cam are you using? I'm looking to buy one for dirtbike riding and caving/rapelling. How much did it cost?

[undergroundearth]

Hey Kevenater, I actually live near Atlanta and am a member of the Dogwood City Grotto and a member of the Sewanee Mountain Grotto in TN.

I use a FUJI FInepix for all my still pics and video.

Very nice, was the first one, the largest well, shot just outside the entrance of Three Caves?

I was repelling down there too, but I can not seem to find it on the map... Can you please add a Google Map marker of Natural Well, and post it here?

I just looked at the video again, yeah that is Milton and he works at Cinram. He is never in a face shot in the video but that is the blue belt he always wore at work. He was very Proud of his repelleing background. He does it with his son. I worked at Cinram as a security gaurd, Melvin and I always talked about repeling I used to repel. I did most of mine in the Franklin mountains and Heuco Tanks in El Paso Texas. I love your video by the way. I have probably watched it 2 dozen times.

[kevenater]

Cool, how do you have the camera mounted to ur helmet? I figured it was one of the mountable video cameras. thanks
