      At timestamp 7:36, the large round center rock there may be big baby head. The left side was Roger Spurr, which spoke of these large creatures with hair, or Featherstone looks like. To me, the right side folds resemble a face. I can't see it too well. Back further, the large bone in the middle you walk under seems to be a large leg bone.

    I went into a pipe like this with my cousin when I was a teenager not realizing that even though it wasn't raining where I was, it had been raining heavily just 10-15 miles from me. We got into the pipe and climbed up into this chamber with grates at the top where we could stand on these ledges. Within a minute we noticed water started trickling into the previously dry chamber below us. We quickly climbed down and started moving up the probably 50ft long pipe, but by the time we got halfway, the water was up to our knees and it was getting hard to walk, and then debris started to stop up the pipe at the end, like tree limbs and garbage.
    Once we made back to the entrance of the pipe, we were having to push tree limbs against the flow of water and climb over them to get out. We got out with scrapes and bruises from struggling against the debris, and sat on the side of the road over the culvert. It wasn't 30 seconds later that the entire pipe was full of rushing water. We would have either drowned or been trapped standing on little 6" ledges above the rushing water with no way to move or sit.
    I'm never going into one of those again.

Ooh, sends chills through me imagining 'what if...?' Listen you'll have heard the phrase 'no fear' and 'stay curious', right? This advice suggests I should ignore my track-proven survival instinct to flee for my life and curiously continue staring at the on-coming car-aarrgghh! Doh!

      Yep, that happened to some sewer workers were I live. They were down in there working on what had been a nice sunny summer day. But a storm came up fast without warning and it poured for a short time but very heavy. The one guy who was closest to the manhole barely got out but the other guy didn't. They just waited for his body to come out into the river over a mile away. Which it did but he was dead. I remember the storm and I was just a few blocks from where it happened. When I was a teenager I led some freinds into a culvert like that but I knew some of the dangers as I had personly seen this pipe at times covered by twenty feet of water in the summer. So we went in the winter, it was fun but all we saw as we went along were the other pipes that fed it and the farther we went the smaller the pipe became. Very dagerous places to be and people usaully don't tell others were they went.

    17:26 a rule ive heard about caving (and cave diving) (other than always setting down a line so u can find ur way out and having plenty of backup flashlights etc and checking weather beforehand, watching out for flash floods and various other things) -- is that u should generally only go into caves where the water is flowing out of it and not into it.... this is so, firstly if there are any swimming sections or crawling thru tight areas with flow, that its harder to go in and easier to go out... this is for safety... so its more tiring to get deeper into the cave and easier to escape it.. secondly... you can end up with areas of water where the flow suddenly goes underground - you might see a pool of water, start swimming thru it and suddenly be sucked under (a kind of whirlpool effect) the flow dragging you further into the cave with no air and no way to escape... you guys should always be wary of things like this - i cant remember all the technical terms

    Reminds me of Donahue Cave near Bedford, IN. Could be the same. One of the few Indiana caves with an entrance/exit at both distant ends. The culvert entry was the accessible entrance. The other end and the drainage exited into the East Fork of the White River opening onto a small hung canyon in a jungle-like setting, the lazy, muddy White River below. We did the full length both ways perhaps three times in the early 1970's when my wife and I were dating. Caving makes for fun and memorable dates, sometimes more memorable than fun, but always memorable. I recall there was an upper dry section with some speleothems, but the incredible stream channel is where the cave truly shines, revealing multiple natural bridges, rimstone pools and active flowstone ramparts. One might find oneself chimneying a narrow water sculpted slot high above the stream or wading in ice cold water. Later improvements to the HWY 37 bypass have greatly changed the landscape beyond recognition for this old carbide lamp caver. In the 60's and 70's, we used the public library to find maps and directions to our chosen caves. There is a great leap of faith, part to full submergence passage at the river end of the cave, not for the faint of heart when water is a little high. Always look for leaves and sticks in the ceiling to know and appreciate what flood time looks like in a wet cave. Good times.

      In 70s the Bradford brothers went in there with CANDLES,, Lost their light and were lost. At that time there was a facility that dumped massive amounts of water when they backwashed their filters, this would have flash flooded the cave.
      Their Dad alerted them and they delayed backwash.

    You need to be very careful. It can be sunny where you are, but rain falling in the upper watershed will flood these sorts of drainages. It happens in only a matter of minutes.

    Super cool! I've never known anyone else to do this! I did the same thing back in 1990 in a small town in Texas. A large culvert just like that one ran into a creek just outside town. I noticed some fish, etc that are normally cave dwelling in the creek near the opening after a super heavy rain. A short time later, I was given an assignment to write an essay on a place I hadn't been. That absolutely decided it! After finding some blueprints on the city's fresh water drainage/sewage system, I geared up and went in to find something very similar. The culvert had split at some point and water had carved a large area (possibly into an existing cavity). I always wanted to do more exploring, but I was alone at the time and life took me away from the area a short time later. I have another sewage drainage escape story that comes later in another city, but that one's for another time. haha Good luck and be careful!

    So many natural bridges! This made the cave sort of unique that way. It makes me wonder what the cave has in store further inside it. The mounds with sheets of water flowing down the side were quite interesting too. I think the flow stone in this cave is not as old as you would expect, the water is murky with an extremely high amount of dissolved calcium carbonate in it, I would expect this would make the flow stone features grow faster than normal. I hope you can return to this cave to explore it furtherm to it's end if possible, as it may have more strange features if it gets big again.
    This video was fun to watch, that kid was a real trooper. Maybe you can team up with these guys again someday in another cave.
