Picture if you will, a lot of cavers in one tiny, little area. I mean, cavers are used to being in cramped places, so flying coach is no problem, and riding a bus in Nigeria with 180 people and 50 chickens inside is no big deal.

But put them into one of the smallest, coolest, adventure parks (which happens to be located on the top of Iron Mountain) in America, and you are in for a treat.

We hosted the annual NSS (National Speleological Society) convention at  Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. The park closed down at 5 pm for a private “party”. And what a party it was. I was opening and closing the airlock entry doors to the cave on average of once every 20  seconds for 4  hours straight. Whew!

The cavers were very grateful. The bats were grateful. The rubber chicken was a hit.

And I got to rub elbows (literally) with some of the best cavers in the world…
