If she had done this - and I’m not suggesting she did - I’m sure she wouldn’t have if Charter’s OnDemand worked all the time or the program was available on Hulu.

Sheep’s Cave is a wild cave next to a parking lot, with no bats, so it is suitable for exploration any time of year. It is level with few obstacles and just a bit of duck walking. I’ve included a map of the location at the bottom of this post.

Note the really cool ice formations at the mouth of the cave. It had been very cold, and then thawed and re-froze, so there were terrific ice stalagmites. Some of them were as tall as Emma!

The girls wore what is now their standard caving gear - bicycle helmets with headlamps attached with velcro, as well as handheld flashlights.

Here’s video:
