Green Eyed Monster is another cave that never would have been seen if some miners didn't happen to dig right into it. After a tight squeeze at the bottom of this corrugated tube, the mine drift continues for quite a ways until it broke into the cave. The features inside are very interesting and most have a strange green tint to them.

Great pictures, guys. Thanks.
Great pictures! Although I don't know if I would ever dare to do this with you guys, I do enjoy your pictures. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Great trip guys, Love the pics!
You've should've seen this cave some 15 years ago. Lots of the formations that were still intact are now destroyed ... 30 years ago there was a formation known as the Medusa, a soccer sized ball of that green florescence that was covered with pure white helectites. Dale Green probably has the only photo/slide of the formation existing.
Hey this looks great! Just some quick questions, do you have to use gear to descend/ascend? or is it walk/climeable? Is it accessible during winter? Loving the blog! Keep it up!
