WIND CAVE \u2013 On Saturday, November 2, Wind Cave is celebrating its 150th mile of exploration with special talks and activities. Programs include hearing exploration stories from the actual explorers, including a first-hand account of being lost in the cave for 36 hours.
\n\u201cThroughout the day, talks will be given at the park\u2019s visitor center telling the story of the cave\u2019s exploration. These talks are free and begin at 8:30 a.m. with the last talk beginning at 3 p.m.,\u201d said Park Superintendent Vidal D\u00e1vila. \u201cA rare public display of a tracing of the map of the cave\u2019s first systematic explorer, Alvin McDonald, will also be exhibited at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.\u201d
\nThe Black Hills Parks & Forest Association will have lunch available for purchase. While repairs are ongoing with the cave\u2019s elevators, it is unknown if they will be fixed in time to open the cave for tours on that day.
\nThe event will conclude with a banquet at the Mueller Civic Center in Hot Springs. The keynote speaker is Rachel (Cox) Tso. As an 18-year old National Outdoor Leadership Student (NOLS) in 1989, she was lost in the cave for 36 hours, generating the largest search and rescue effort in the park\u2019s history. Ms. Tso, now a documentary filmmaker, will show some of her upcoming film on the incident along with telling her story and how the experience changed her life.
\nFor a full schedule of events, and to purchase tickets for the banquet, visit: www.blackhillsparks.org<\/a> and click on the Wind Cave partner tab or call 605-745-7020. Reservations for dinner are available through October 27 and cost $30 for adults.<\/p>\n
