Informative

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was a gift for my brother, an amateur spelunker. There were some caves of which he was unaware, and now he has nearby adventure for next time he is in the area. Descriptions accurate and information not readily available from other sources.

Caves... makes even Iowa interesting !

We've enjoyed this book and the referenced sites a whole lot. From tourist caves to unlit Ice Caves... Get the entire series of these books- well worth it.

Great guide for the expert, the novice, the curious.

If you are any of the above, you will find this guide useful. Whether you are a solitary caver, or even if you would like to introduce young members of your family to caving, this is a good place to start. There are a range of caves to explore listed in this guide, and each are unique and individual, appealing to all types from the beginner to the expert. Easy read, and fits perfect in a backpack or overnight bag.
