Jennifer
Otto began caving in 1993 and immediately took to cave discovery. "She
took the 'you should check this out' to extreme and found the smallest
tightest lead to see where it would go (NSS News 2000)." It wasn't long
after this that she became a cave diver and later, active in the Florida
Speleological Society doing cave cleanups, leading novice trips, and
cultivating landowner relationships. In
1993 she participated in the Jennings Cave cleanup in Marion County,
Florida so that the bat colony, driven out by pollution and vandals
during the 1970’s, might return. She also contributed to caver art. One
of the images she created is shown below. Stay tuned for more later on
today. Nice work Jennifer Otto. Thank you for being an extraordinary
woman caver!SOURCES:
