On Sunday afternoon, November 19, Tim Robinson (17) and Wesley Allen (17) went exploring in Cool Springs Cave in Trigg County, Kentucky. In mid-afternoon their single flashlight failed. With no obvious way out, they elected to wait for help. That evening they were reported overdue to the State Police and about midnight a search in the cave was begun. They were found, safe, about one and a half hours later, having spent 13 hours in the cave.
Another case of cavers with no contact with the organized caving scene using a "classic" approach to exploration - get a light and go for it.
