Is it possible for people to get a group and go there. It's like the most incredible cave in the world. A cave with a lake and the most enormous quarts pylons. A cave so expansive that there hasn't been finding to it's ends.

    i'm up for something in the southeast - but after googling lechugia - looks like that's a little out of my range for a weekend trip at this time.

    www.google.com/search

    have you ever been before? sounds like you have from what you've written here
    is it mostly horizontal or is it varied? do you need diving gear or rafts at certain parts?

        it's almost impossible to get a trip to lech.
        you either have to be very well connnected or part of a "scientific team" <seen some pretty loose interpatations>
        this cave is heavily regulated, not to mention extremely challenging...do your research well, or call your contacts early.

    Wow! I'd love to go to Lechuguilla. I've never actually looked into it 'cause getting a permit is damned near impossible. Somewhere I have an old National Geographic magazine with a feature article on Lechugilla.

      Yes folks it is very hard to get into Lechuguilla. After doing some research. It might be hard but I going to see what I can do. I'm sure this is going to take me a long time, but keep you eyes out here. Sometime I've been good at influence.

        Kookala all,
        I'll post a few of my pics from there here.
        Been there 3 times as well.
        Well 3, 5 day survey and reso expeditions.
        I even participated on a rescue
        making my exit day 36 hours long.Have you gotten to go?
        Lots of hoops to jump through.
        or at the very least determination.
        LURC
