Abstract
Once the large cave system accessed through the Bobcat Cave entrance series had been discovered, there was the problem of how to explore it. The entrance series required 5 h transit time each way, leaving little time and stamina for exploration. The solution was to camp in the cave and to conduct exploration from the camp over several days. Camping techniques are described followed by detailed logs of the first 32 camps. Exploration eventually revealed a large, complex, and deep cave extending over much of the northeastern end of Chestnut Ridge.
