Here's the link to the torrent file; total download is in the neighborhood of 500mb:

Please help me out and seeding the torrent once you've downloaded, and by sharing/distributing however you can.

This disc covers the areas marked in BLUE on this map. (the previous disc covered the RED areas):

Here are two sample images -- these are only 10% size, and the originals are enormous.

Sorry To Bring Up A Old Topic, But I Think This Link Is Pretty Dead Considering Im Lucky If I Can Connect To 1 Peer To Download This Disk, Been Trying The Last 8 Days And im Still Only At 6.5% lol, so if any of you out there successfully downloaded this and are feeling generous ;) if you could seed that would be great, because im dieing to find a decent sized or large cave to explore because these small caves are just not quite scratching the itch i have to do some real caving, ive explored all of ritter springs caves, Paris Springs, Baldd Knobbers, Dogwood Canyon, shit even Fantastic Caverns just for shits n giggles lol

The cave at Sequiota park is fun and pretty wet. Though rather boring formation wise.
Fitz-Patrick is a nice quickie.
You could try and get the owners to give you a tour of Crystal cave.
Ash grove cave and Low Water Bridge Cave (next to Ash Grove along the river) are fun.
There's a small spring that produces a noticeable boil here.
There is what appears to be a cave entrance right next to a person's house on the south side of 176 near here, probably wanna get permission for sure on that one though.
Get in on the MVOR caving and camping things.
Carroll cave is 20 miles long, but well looked after, get in with these people to explore.
Try and get in here, there's a security guard at the property entrance.
There are a couple of small caves along the bluff trail here.
There's a nearly 300 ft long natural tunnel along a trail at Bennett Springs State Park, along with a spiffy museum showing at the cool stuff they've found in Bennett Spring.
There is a cave with a 2 story entrance that promptly turns into a short crawl to nothing in this valley on this farm.

Those are all the caves plus locations I can think about off the top of my head that I'm willing to publicly share the location of.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

The maps don't have the location of the caves on it.
And you can also buy them from the dnr here.

I believe I got a copy of this 5+ years ago. I'll see if I can source it in my archives when I get home.
Why are all the fun things illegal?
