In the winter of 1925, the story of Floyd Collin's entrapment in Sand Cave became one of the first international news stories via this new invention called the radio. The saga of his entrapment had the world tuning in daily for news of his rescue, earned a young reporter the Pulitzer Prize for journalism, and did not end when Floyd finally passed inside the cave he had given his life to explore.

Mammoth Cave National Park Ranger Chris Clark is one of the most knowledgeable people on the topic of Floyd's story, both before and after his death. We've put together a guide to help you understand the timelines of this tenacious explorer's life and beyond. We also have some suggested places to viit if you're up for a roadtrip. You can find that at roadtripzee.com in our guides section.

Join us for a conversation with Dave Foster, president and CEO of the American Cave Conservation Association and Hidden River Cave. Dave tells great stories about the life of Floyd Collins and the history of Cave Wars in South Central Kentucky.

"Floyd was a casualty of Kentucky's Cave Wars.

He was trapped twice. At the end of his life, he was trapped in the cave. But most of his life he was trapped trying to run a business(cave) that was so far off the beaten path that people couldn't find him. And location, location, location was everything," shared Dave Foster.

We met up with him at Hidden River Cave in Hart County, Kentucky - a major hub of Kentucky's Cave Country and just miles from Mammoth Cave National Park.
