That girl is one really excellent docent :) Brian seems pretty cool too, effected "cowboy" walk and all. I've got to get there! Great guides. They're easily 90% of the experience, and these guys really do a terrific job. As a Floridian, I'm very familiar with them. Pretty cool people, when you catch them off-duty (and sober). Get 'em drunk, and you'll hear just how horrible most people are. I remember going to Mammoth Cave in KY when I was a kid. The docent was pretty funny: "It's so quiet in here, you can hear a pin drop. (drops a pin, maybe, nobody hears it. Stamps his foot) Did you hear _that?_" Ah, these guys don't get paid what they're worth. Things like this are so educational, for but me, in kind of a bad way. Recall the Upper Big Bridge Mine disaster. Stuff like that scares the crap out of me, so _this,_ to me, would be a thrill ride. What an amazingly, dazzlingly beautiful place, though. These days, I'd rather go on one of those conceptual Centrifugal Brain Project (look it up) rides on TH-cam, than go through this.
It would compromise the cave's infrastructure, causing it to practically fall apart. Someone asked this on the tour i was on the other day, that's what the tour guide said.
The thing he said about not touching the "living" rock at the end is actually a state law in Texas. After seeing caves like Marvel Cave, Cave of the Winds, Carlsbad Caverns and a couple of completely dead caves up north, Inner Space Caverns is the only big, guided tour cave that I have seen that is mostly still "alive".. untouched by human hands.

God they would never, but holy crap that would be cool
for obvious reasons

Best Cave Tour!
