I don't recognize the format you're using...if I drop the extra decimal and last two digits, I get this location. Is that where you're lookin?

Sorry Jeff, I was copying info.
I think you can try:
N40 32.57
W110 55.40
I believe the original guy wrote it wrong. |

| I don't know the cave, but there's a whole bunch of pits/caves in this area, including some that I don't have the locations for. This may be one of those. I'll have to look through my stuff, but this may be in the general area for gas can pit/cave. Have you been to this one, or know someone who has? |

| My Dad told me of two caves in that ravine. I have searched it twice and did not come up with anything. This one may be named Pit #5. I would have to get in side to verify it....actually..... let me ask around. |

That second picture looks like it could be Columbine Pit. I have checked with a few people and no one knows of a cave at those coords, but it is fairly close to Columbine Pit. You can see pics of it here.

Does the top picture on my blog post of Columbine look like where you fell in? |

Luckily it wasn't me who fell in, this is second hand info. I was just curious about the cave.(and not because I'm a caver--I'm not) |
