In the fall of 2018, two expedition teams returned to Double Bopper Cave in Grand Canyon National Park to continue survey and exploration of the extensive system. Through their efforts, the cave is now 40.6 miles long and has climbed into the top ten longest caves in the United States. The newest discoveries include many mummified mammals, an entire wall of gypsum hair, and more iron foam and gypsum flowers than anyone could imagine. Survey teams documented incredible boreholes and unique formations in the caves, while avoiding bark scorpions and flash floods on the surface. This presentation will show highlights of the October 2018 expedition and give an update on the Double Bopper Cave system. Beth Cortright: Beth Cortright has been caving for about 11 years. She began exploring underground while attending college and primarily caved in south central Kentucky, where she learned to survey. During this time, Beth also got involved with a group surveying caves in collaboration with archaeologists at Maya sites in the Yucatan, Mexico. Through her adventures with the caving group in Kentucky and Mexico, Beth was invited on a weeklong expedition into Lechuguilla Cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park in 2011. Beth has since returned to Lechuguilla many times, and to many other New Mexico caves as well, for more day trips and expeditions. Beth also participates in expeditions to Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness and Grand Canyon National Park.
