Last summer someone posted a 360 degree video of the bats at Bracken ( pretty sure this was a BCI thing ). In the links below or at the bottom you have to move your cursor or mouse around to see the 360 view.
A friend today showed me a similar video that I must not have known about. ( maybe during one of my hiatuses ?? ) The link below is that video ( by Fran Hutchins ) https://youtu.be/UnTgle6mYeE This seems to be worthy of an speleo-award. Right ? Kudos to Fran. I think I may have rappelled down the shaft one time back in the 80's, but I don't think I ascended back up. I know I watched a lot of cavers doing it, and maybe the line was too long and I didn't get to do it. I think I was there one other time, but maybe just for a bat flight. I haven't been there in probably 30 years. I had numerous opportunities to go back before it was open to eco-tourist. But we ended up going to Brehmer Cave or maybe just going tubing or both. I missed out on nearly 100 or more caving opportunities in the past 34 years. Trips to H.T. Myers Cave, Station C Cave, Valdina Farms Sinkhole, off-trail in NBC, Honeycreek trips, Fern Cave, Frio Bat Cave, O-9 Well, Punkin & Deep, Devil's Sinkhole ( 94 Convention ). Missed quite a few trips to the Guads. I do not recall ever being invited to Indian Creek Cave, Cobb Cave, Sorcerer's Cave, ( and all the serious diving trip caves ) The one cave trip that stands out that I am so glad I did not miss was Prassell's Ranch Cave. That was the muddiest and wettest that I ever got. I can only guess that trip was around 1991.
