No injured cavers recorded.
In Spring 1981, two cavers entered Buckner Cave near Bloomington, Indiana. They proceeded past the Volcano Room but upon reaching the end of the passage they became disoriented and so sat down to await rescue. Authorities were eventually notified. Cavers were called in (Monroe Speleunking Club), soon located the lost cavers and brought them out.
This year seemed to experience a rash of lost cavers. Deficient light sources possibly contributed to this occurrence.
Two cavers got lost in the Volcano room and waited for rescue.
