Cave System: Sloans Valley Cave System
Purpose: Leisure - GP -> Crevice via Sauce to White Grotto to Floorless Canyon Connection route, then towards Canoe Rock, through Caramel Connection, back up to White Grotto 
again to Lunch Room to Connection Dome to *ss-Licker Falls to Top-of-T route and the back to GCS via P-Knees Passage, then GCS to ST Junction to X-Corner to GP exit.

Trip Summary: See above. In letting Jake lead, he took a wrong turn to the right after the Connection Dome and just before *ss-Licker Falls. This is another connection route 
(I think). Here I noticed a strong smell I had never encountered in a cave before. It was somewhere between a chemically smell from auto parts burining or a motor burning 
out (best way I thought of it) to possibly a piercing methane-ish (possibly) smell (but didn't smell of methane). That section was dry on this trip and contained old rot, so 
perhaps this was a smell produced from the orgranic matter (leaves and branches washed deposited in this section).

Biota Report: 
  Cave Crayfish seen in pools in the passage flowing from Fountain of Youth down to 3rd Lake Room.
  

  
Reflections for future: Chemical smell in side passage that leads to right when heading from Connection Dome towards *ss-Licker Falls.
