The Boop-Boo-Da-Boop-Da-Boop [exact spelling pending confirmation] [2019-HT-02] complex is an area of multiple very large holes surrounding a small flat expanse of karst,
half surrounded by cliffs. Two of the entrances are extremely appealing, with one a few meters wide and unknown depth (again, the rocks take long to go down, a
disto would've been helpful), and another similarly wide and quite deep and clearly going diagonally into the hillside, reducing likelihood of being choked.
<br /><br />
Both of these leads really require photos to better explain (and someone with more awareness to convey their geography) but represent very exciting prospects
in a fairly untouched region of the plateau.
