seeing these pictures makes me think I am a bit claustrophobic

I'm not particularly claustrophobic but that place got me.

Yeah, my heart starts racing just looking at the photos. Then to think of anyone

Nutty Putty caves made me aware of my claustrophobia...

Ouch...."some guy"....you might think to reword that after reading about him and background

Sorry, I don't know much of the story. I don't mean to be offensive. I know they made a movie about it.

jdub

1/19/18 12:04pm

I knew the guy, really sad what happened. I don't think you're being offensive

John Jones. Everyone that knew him couldn't say enough good things about him.

May sound callous, but I don't think any offense was intended

What's wrong with the wording?

that place was fun

It was a ton of fun, but after being in there I could see how someone

Trying to figure out which way is up in the photos...

buffgato

1/19/18 12:05pm

Most of the photos are oriented correctly, with "up" at the top of the photo. The one with my really tall buddy

jdub

1/19/18 12:07pm

Haven't been there. Seems like that could be a bit sketchy

buffgato

1/19/18 12:09pm

That part wasn't too bad at all. The sketchiest parts were over in the left side (as you're entering)

jdub

1/19/18 12:11pm

Here are some videos

zonacougar

1/19/18 12:11pm

That part 3 video. My gosh I wouldn't do that in a million years.

1/19/18 12:18pm

I remember going through that section vividly. Honestly it was kind of a

zonacougar

1/19/18 12:19pm

So do you have to go back through it to get out?

RdF3

1/19/18 12:21pm

yep. If you don't go all the way up to a certain point you just have to

zonacougar

1/19/18 12:23pm

After going through that section there were other places we could have

zonacougar

1/19/18 12:25pm

I used to have a map of the whole cave, plus I'd been enough I kind of had it memorized.

jdub

1/19/18 12:28pm

So do you know where it was that that man died?

RdF3

1/19/18 12:30pm

Didn't he get stuck in an offshoot of the Scout Eater tunnel?

Carnac

1/19/18 12:31pm

Don't know, but I just googled and found a map for reference:

jdub

1/19/18 12:36pm

I further googled about John Jones, who is the guy who died. If you look at my map, he was apparently stuck

jdub

1/19/18 12:42pm

Having never been, I'm trying to orient myself to the map the way it's drawn.

Preppy

1/19/18 9:25pm

No, I only have a guess at which direction in the cave. But there were lots of places to get stuck

jdub

1/19/18 12:33pm

Think of a tunnel shaped like an upside down "V"

Carnac

1/19/18 12:37pm

yeah, I posted above that after googling, I think I've been down that very same spot. So, yeah, I can picture it.

jdub

1/19/18 12:44pm

yep. That part turns a lot of people away. It's not really that bad. I did have to put my arms above my head

jdub

1/19/18 12:24pm

Makes me anxious just watching. Never.

VenetianCougar

1/19/18 12:20pm

You've already done it at least once

deejo

The “birth canal” as we called it.

mvtoro

1/20/18 7:49pm

That's great. It really gives you the feel of the cave. It's not like Timp Cave or any of the touristy caves. It's

jdub

Wow, I've been to NP several times and spent years on a submarine but I couldn't

I read the detailed account of that guy's death... never want to get near a cave

kotacoug

The way he died is my ultimate fear

Twin Roots

Drowning would be more merciful

Where are these detailed accounts?

Link to a UT County Search & Rescue book

Zedhead

Very cool. Thanks so much.

Santos L. Halper

The cave dynamited and sealed with concrete. It no longer exists.

Josef K

I saw a documentary that talked about it. Can’t imagine dying that way

ByuImaginesDragons

Ya, that's going to remain a permanent nope.

I went into NP twice. I was cool with everything but the Birth Canal

Carnac

We went through with the scouts when I was younger. Everyone got in okay,
