Saturday, September 1974 Arvil West (24), Dick Simpson (27), Henry Robertson (19) and Tommy Wilburn entered Livingston's Cave about 7:00 p.m., intending to stay only 2 hours. The four became lost. They had no water with them and only a couple of candy bars. Dr. David Livingston. the owner of the cave, knew the group had planned to be in the cave only a few hours. When he saw their car Sunday morning, he contacted the police, the sheriff's office and the local rescue squad. Members of the Cave Country Grotto participated in the search. Thirty minutes after the search began the four were found unharmed by Tommy Livingston, the owner's 17-year-old son. The group emerged about 1:00 p.m. Sunday to an anxious crowd of about 250 people.
Analysis: The group was fairly inexperienced, although at least one of them had been caving previously. They should have paid closer attention to landmarks on their way into the cave.
