details
RestoNeeded:
Multiple area's along the Carroll passage need cleaning, especially near the water barrier where the passage constricts because of multiple formations. A large ammo can is still present at at the water barrier. Because of time constraints, this was left for the moment. Could possibly be removed in one trip. Large white formation area approx 500-700 feet from the water barrier (Rick Hines took a picture of this area at one time) has a large white stalagmite that has muddy handprints and is in need of cleaning and flagging to prevent future damage.
