Sweet. I hope by the time I get around to getting some cave training there will be some passageway left to discover somewhere.

How hard do you want to work for it? This place is only do-able in low flow summertime, a 10-11 hour drive from Seattle, 4wd only the last hour then a ~45min hike with tanks. Forget getting fills. One of our partners has a compressor and I'm converting my compressor to gas power for the week as well to help support it. I think water temp is about 44F, but unlike the Omak mine at least vis is known to be good.

Going back last week of August 2011. Need cave trained people who like cold water (43f), hiking with doubles (900m), and not expecting a completely swimmable cave throughout. Bonus for rock climbing or dry caving skills :)
