Wyoming, unidentified cave
April 1974
Alan Hunt (21) and Ralph Calvin (21) spent several hours trying to find their way out of a cave after becoming lost. They consumed about 1/2 pound of candy while in the cave. The men were found after a friend alerted a search and rescue team in Big Horn County.
Analysis: When asked what he had learned from the experience, Hunt stated, We better mark our cave passages better, and oh yes, get some more candy. A much better idea is to learn to be more observant while travelling through a cave. Candy provides quick energy but is not sufficient for prolonged stay in a cave.
