ok guys we are at this cave and
we are going to do some camping in it hopefully explore it
this cave has got quite the history to it to
oh is that the dance floor
yes it is
woah
and these concrete steps are where the bands would play
we are here with some friends
-howdy friends
-let's get our cave on
what is happening man
pretty cool

she went to go explore
there she is
it's really muddy i should have brought another pair of shoes
very muddy yes

that's going to be good
everybody is super hungry but it wont be long now
four course meals in a cave
i got my food though i am ready to eat this is going to be delicious
dogs and chips
alright we are exploring our surroundings now
and he's got a UV light on him
and we noticed something cool on this wall
you can only see it with the UV light
dude that is badass
alright so what is on the far side of the cave
woah you can see like the whole concrete floor right here
i know yeah
this whole thing is just concrete floor
concrete dance floor
so i heard that um..
the people who discovered this cave found like an old Indian artifact
it was like a turtle that was carved
in the middle of this floor
and they actually concreted over probably a lot of Indian artifacts
wow
so.. that's kind of..
you think we could still find an Indian artifact in here
maybe actually...maybe..
ok not much over here just a bunch of cinderblocks
and somebody made a fire over there
don't do that
um. who's pillow is that
dude i don't know
that's none of ours
that has been hiding back here
it's a little kids or something

it might be time to head back
yeah
it's starting to get really gnarly back here
i didn't expect to be gone this long

this place is massive
it kept.. i literally went like an extra hundred feet than you guys and it just kept going and going-
bats clicking and hissing
what's that
those are bats
they are clicking and making scary noises
they are communicating they are plotting
i don't remember this
oh he's looking at me
the bat has now taken notice of you?
he's looking at me
he's nudging his partner he's saying hey let's get him!

no because i dont remeber
i dont remember climbing over this wall
is there a formation. yeah you are grabbing on to a formation i remember that
keep going
i dont remember the hissing bats

it all leads to the same way so i don't know
if you go that way-
look there is a message that says out
it will go the same way
